New Book "Foolproof Wood Finishing" Takes the Guesswork Out of Getting the Perfect Wood Finish

East Petersburg, PA (PRWEB) July 21, 2006 -- With the popularity of shabby chic and the booming “do-it-yourself” category, there are more crafters and homeowners than ever struggling with the intimidating task of finishing – for fear of ruining that perfect flea market find and hand-crafted piece with a finishing mistake. As one of the most popular finishing instructors at woodworking schools across the country, Teri Masaschi knows all about this – and it’s why she’s written "Foolproof Wood Finishing: The Complete Guide for Those Who Love to Build and Hate to Finish." (Fox Chapel Publishing, September 2006)

Full of color photos and clear instructions, "Foolproof Wood Finishing" keeps it simple -- it’s an easy-to-follow guide that simplifies how to choose, use and apply the perfect finish. Offering the ideal antidote to finishing anxiety, the author notes, “Other wood finishing books try to cover the entire subject with all of the “why’s” and “what for’s.” This book is about the process. Period.”

In step-by-step exercises that reflect the author’s approachable and direct style, readers will learn everything they need to know to successfully finish a project: how to determine the best finish, to properly prepare wood with sanding techniques, to fix minor wood defects, to apply decorative techniques such as glazing and color laying, to properly brush on urethanes and varnishes and, most importantly, how avoid common pitfalls.

Rounding out the book are the author’s favorite “recipes” that outline the products and steps for creating timeless finishes such as Deep Antique Cherry, Nut Brown Mahogany, and more.

Also included are amusing anecdotes culled from the author’s lifelong experience in the art of finishing. In the end, "Foolproof Wood Finishing" offers the comprehensive instruction and the accessible format that’s ideal for the first-timer or hesitant woodworker.
