A good book on French Polishing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a good book if you are interested in learning how to french polish. The author seems to have a great deal of experience in dying and french polishing and covers both in this book. Also, there is some information on pore filling. Other topics such as varnish, oils, and lacquers are not covered well. So, if you are looking for a good french polish method that works, this is it, if you are looking for information on a different finish, look elsewhere.
