Has anybody had the time to read a book lately? Well I did and I wanted to share my enthousiasm about 'Understanding wood finishing' by 'Bob Flexner' with you lot.

In my modest opinion this book should be seen as the Bible to finishing wood. Summarizing the chapters (and therewith the very logical arrangement of this book) it comes down to this:
01. Why finish wood, anyway?
02. Preparing the wood surface.
03. Tools for applying finishes.
04. Staining wood.
05. Oil finishes.
06. Wax finishes.
07. Filling the pores.
08. Introduction to film finishes.
09. Shellac.
10. Lacquer.
11. Varnish.
12. Two-part finishes.
13. Water based finishes.
14. Choosing a finish.
15. Advanced coloring techniques.
16. Finishing the finish.
17. Finishing different woods.
18. Caring for the finish.
19. Repairing finishes.
20. Exterior finishes.
21. Removing finishes.
