Book Description
Excerpt from The Up-to-Date Hardwood Finisher, Vol. 2 of 2 Some twelve or fourteen years ago, I prepared a little manual on Hardwood Finishing, which became quite popular, and to some extent remains so up to the present writing. The little work, however, was far from complete, and I have been asked by a large number of woodworkers to extend the limits of the work, or to reorganize and add more to the subject oi wood preparation. After considering the matter, I was impressed by the latter suggestion, as the title Hardwood Finisher seemed to be somewhat misleading, as the intention of the book was to give general instructions in finishing woods of all kinds - hard and soft - and not only making them ready for the varnisher and polisher, but also to instruct the workman in the latter process as well as the former. I have therefore embodied in this new work a number of directions for making and finishing the raw wood, making it ready for the finisher or varnisher and polisher; and have also given directions and formulas for mixing the materials and applying them to the prepared wood. It goes without saying, that to make a work of this kind useful, it must contain much that has been published before, and much that is taken from the workshop and from the experience of workmen, many of whom have given me their own methods of working.

Excerpt from The Modern Wood Finisher: A Practical Treatise on Wood Finishing in All Its Branches Why not an art? If to take a commonplace thing and by skill render it beautiful to look upon constitutes art in other lines, why not in this? A piece Of wood finished in the highest degree of polish attainable is a thing of beauty, fully as much so as a great deal of the stuff that goes as art under the high-sounding name of water or oil colors, etchings, pastel work, etc., and is received and accepted under that name by a long-suffering public. Certainly the highly finished piece of hardwood has required as neat, as careful, and as dexterous handling to produce it, and in most cases as much intelligence, technical knowl edge and love of the beautiful on the part of the producer as the average production of the so-called artist has.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Expert Wood Finisher: A d104 Book for the Guidance of the Expert Workman and Manual of Instruction for the Learner The process of wood finishing is one of the simplest of the mechanical arts, and yet it demands of the workman a degree of skill not exceeded in any other line of handicrafts. The first requirement is a knowledge of woods, their physical structure, so that the treatment necessary to their perfect development of line and color may be understood. Then comes material and manipulation thereof, the staining and filling of the woods, and the final work of varnishing, rubbing, polishing, etc. Nor is this all, for the finisher must understand the composition and nature of the various stains and pigments he handles, the aniline dyes, the liquids, the mineral and vegetable pigments. While all these matters are fully and carefully described in this work, yet it will require experience in order to develop the complete workman. Study the instructions given here, and follow them carefully, and in due course you will succeed in mastering the art and becoming a skilled wood-finisher, - if you put heart into your work, for unless one loves his work he never can succeed in becoming its master. I shall first take up the subject of woods. We try to place the woods under two heads, hard and soft, but these are not the most appropriate terms to use, and they are confusing to most of us. There are, botanically, two broad groups of tree species, the deciduous or broad-leaved tree, and the evergreen, needle-leaved or coniferous trees.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Expert Wood Finisher: A Hand Book for Expert Workmen and Learners in the Art and Practise of Finishing Woods by Staining, Filling, Varnishing, Rubbing, Polishing, Oiling, Waxing, Etc Ak.-only the use of their scientific names can prevent confusion when speaking of the oaks. Foresters divide all the various oaks into two distinct groups, namely, the white and the black. The woods of the two groups are structurally different. The true white oak, Quercus alba, is merely one of the species which make up the white oak group. Red oak has a number of other common names, such as mountain oak, black oak, and Spanish oak, yet it is a member of the black oak group. Red oak is more abundant than white oak, grows faster, and is generally regarded as inferior; the two species often grow together and occupy the same general region. When white oak was abundant it was derived almost entirely from the true white oak, the Quercus alba, but now what passes for white oak is usu ally a mixture of different oaks, in which there may be no true white oak at all. The true white oak combines approximately the utmost strength and toughness of any of the timber oaks, excepting possibly the Southern live' oak, prized for ship building. At one time white oak forests extended from the Atlantic seaboard to about Missouri, and seemed in inexhaustible supply. Of the white oak group those most used, in addition to the true white oak, are burr oak, chestnut oak, post oak, chinquapin oak, swamp white oak, cow oak, and overcup oak. Of the black oak group the most used are, Texas red oak, red oak, and spotted or water oak. Real white oak of No. I quality is very largely cut into quarter sawed boards, while a combination of one or more White oaks and red oak may constitute cuts of white oak. In many markets the term cabinet white oak is under stood to include a mixture of red and white oaks, but not infrequently it means simply red oak. However, for all the purposes for which white oak is commonly used, practically all the trees of this group will yield woods that can be interchanged and will serve equally well. Live oak is not used in wood finishing, yet it is well adapted for that purpose, being very hard and compact, close of grain, taking a high polish, and growing darker and handsomer with time. But the woodworker will find it very difficult to work. It seems never to have been sawed into quarters, though owing to its known grain it is sure that no figure would result from quarter-saw ing. Nor is it ever made up into boards, its sole use be ing for ships. Its botanical name is Quercus virens, so named because it retains its green leaves until the new foliage of the next season appears. Its habitat is the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, from Norfolk to Texas. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
