"Understanding Wood Finishing" by Bob Flexner
This book may be known to y'all, but a lot of the discussion I have lurked over on the last few weeks is covered in concise and informative detail, and is backed up by sound scientific description. It would be hard to find a better source of information, esp. for newbies like me. THis man unlocked the mysteries of shellac, danish oil, strippers, poly, wax etc etc. Awesome source of 'real' information. Highly recommended.http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon14.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gif
