The Finish Line: A Field Guide to Wood Finishes

The difference between a project that looks homemade and one that looks handmade is almost always the finish. This 40-page guide takes the mystery out of oils, waxes, shellac, poly, and stains, with a plain-English decision chart for picking the right finish for any project, plus the prep routine that stops blotchy pine and muddy end grain for good. Fewer products, better results, no toxic guesswork.
