This vintage handbook provides practical instructions in the art of French Polishing - a wood finishing technique. Illustrated with diagrams throughout, it is still of use to anyone interested in classic woodcrafts and traditional wood finishing techniques today. Contents include: Wood Finishing; Staining and Filling; Fadding; Colouring; Bodying; Stiffing and Spiriting off; Ebonised and Ivory Finish Ebonising; Faults and How to Avoid Them. Many early books are becoming extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing this vintage work, which has been carefully selected for its interest and relevance to a modern audience, in a high quality and affordable edition. It features a specially written new introduction and reproductions of the artwork from the original text.
