For more than 18 years, Bob Flexner has been inspiring woodworkers with his writings and teachings on wood finishing. Now, from this talented author comes the long-awaited and completely updated second edition hardcover of Understanding Wood Finishing—the most practical, comprehensive book on finishing ever published.

The first edition of Understanding Wood Finishing is widely regarded as the bible of wood finishing. "We use Understanding Wood Finishing as the textbook for our students training to go into the furniture industry," says David Miles, wood technology professor at Pittsburg State University. "It's the best written, most accurate, and most thorough wood finishing book in print—by far."

With its clear writing and engaging style, this is "without a doubt the best researched, most authoritative, and easy-to-follow book on the subject," notes Steve Shanesy, Popular Woodworking magazine editor.

As professional finishers know and as amateurs will surely realize, "finishing is easy once you know what you are doing," says Frank Klausz, a professional cabinetmaker. "Understanding Wood Finishing makes the science of finishing understandable."

How do you overcome the dual realities that you can't master finishing by trial and error unless you practice every day, and you can't rely on what you are being told by the manufacturers or even in third-party books and pamphlets? You do it by learning what the products are, how they work, and what they can be expected to accomplish!

You don't need to go back to the original chemistry to do this because it's already done for you in Understanding Wood Finishing. This second edition benefits from a decade of refining and adding to the information author Bob Flexner first presented.

With clear language and an easy-to-understand style, this detailed, practical, and comprehensive book will teach you everything you will ever need to know about wood finishing!
