Reader Reviews
This is a great introduction book to furniture repair. The book is organized in these main sections: 1. Tools and materials 63 pp. 2. Structural repairs 98 pp. 3. Preserving an original finish twenty pp. 4. Stripping, finishing, and hardware restoration 43 pp. The most valuable for me was the section on structural repairs. Over twenty projects that need various repair jobs, each is done, step by step, illustrated with lots of clear, full-color photos. This book would well-equip you to handle most repairs of a non-conservation nature (not highly valuable pieces). Brian, if you're listening, I'd like to see you do a book this size on touch up, repair and color matching!
