Synopsis

This volume contains a practical handbook on the construction of cabinet furniture, with detailed information on the use of tools and numerous recipes for making polishes, varnishes, glaze-lacquers, and revivers.

Contents include: "The Improving and Preparation of Furniture Woods", "Stains and Imitations", "French Polishing", "Cheap Work", "Re-Polishing Old Work", "Spirit Varnishing", "General Instructions", "Enamelling", "American Polishing Processes", and "Materials Used".
