A hands-on handbook for the do-it-yourself refinisher
From the author of the revered classic Brightwork: The Art of Finishing Wood comes this lifeline for the weekend warrior with a brush, a can of varnish, and two days to show results.
As elegantly written, photographed, and color printed as its predecessor, The Brightwork Companion provides a stripped-to-the-essentials, topicby- topic presentation of procedures,
bulleted lists, and summary tables.
Rebecca Wittman helps readers evaluate the condition of their boats' wooden elements and provides easy-to read, two-page spreads that minimize page turning with varnish-coated fingers. This
completely practical guide makes every brightwork project easier with:
- Step-by-step procedures for bleaching, sanding, stripping, oiling, varnishing, and more
- Carefully designed lists, tables, and index for ease of use and reference
- Beautiful color photos
- Refinishing instructions for spars, decks, trim, interiors, and more
