I just received today a new book on finishing by Jeff Jewitt. It is
"Taunton's Complete Illustrated Guide to Finishing" and is part of the same excellent series that includes books on shaping construction and joinery http://www.taunton.com/store/pages/illu ... guides.asp
I have only scratched the surface of this book as yet but it looks truly excellent, covering nearly every aspect of finishing that one is likely to run into if making or restoring furniture except perhaps gesso and goldleaf work.
The book seems to offer a good theoretical underpinning to what it says and at the same time deals with the practical application of many different methods in a very straightforward manner.
