How can you control the shine of varnish on wood, or achieve the glossy black of a fine piano? When should you stain, when do you need to use a filler, and how? Perhaps you like the soft sheen of an oil finish, but you also want the durability of lacquer? What's the best finish for a salad bowl? In this collection of 34 articles reprinted from Fine Woodworking magazine, finishing experts explain their formulas and methods, and reveal the secrets of their craft. In addition, in selections from the magazine's Question and Answers column, the experts answer woodworkers' questions about every aspect of finishing wood.
