Taunton's Complete Illustrated Guide to Finishing (Complete Illustrated Guide Series) review:
1 stars (REfinishers need not apply) - In reading information on the author--that he runs a finishing and refinishing business--I thought this book would contain help in boths areas. I was misled and this book is of no use to me. My plans were to REfinish a houseful of oak cabinets and for information on that, I will now have to look elsewhere. For someone wanting to finish new, never before finished wood, this book looks very complete and detailed.
5 stars (Great book, great pictures, super informative) - A great a-z guide on finishing, clear pictures and well written. So much information to absorb, maybe too much. I've reread it many times and use it often as a reference. The best finishing book Iv picked up so far
5 stars (Great for us beginners!) - I have been woodworking for about 6 years now but only as a hobbiest. I loved this book because even though I have several other finishing books this one was much more through. It gives several options on how to do just about every aspect of finishing. I loved the index in this book. It actually has a photo for each of the chapter showing what it pertains to. Another wonderful feature of this book are the step-by-step photos within each chapter. Great "how to" photos.
