  This work, although primarily about the art of French polishing, also contains considerable information that should be useful to those interested in wood finishing. The book offers guidance on: surface preparation, cleaning and re-polishing, touching up marks, staining, French polishing, wax polishing, ebonising, stripping and bleaching. The author has been involved with wood finishing for over 25 years. He learnt his skills alongside his father in the family business and now runs his own furniture restoration business.
