This book explained more about furniture finishing that I ever thought I'd want to know. It might be a good reference text -- I can imagine one day thinking about how to finish a particular item and saying, "hmmm, I should go check Jewitt on this." On the other hand, I'm pleased to have borrowed this from the library and not purchased it. Because even though I sort of understand how to do French polishing, after nine pages of painstaking instructions, I'm absolutely motivated to avoid it.
