Product information
Buchanan begins with the essentials: the workshop, the tools and machines, and the wood. Then, it moves step-by-step to various restoration projects of old furniture: from tables that are easy to restore to more elaborate work on chairs, dressers, or almost completely destroyed pieces. The necessary woodworking techniques from turning to steaming and bending wood are explained, as well as veneering, upholstery, and surface treatment methods, from repairing lacquer damage to applying a shellac finish.
Since even difficult techniques are simply explained and well-illustrated, experienced hobby restorers will also be able to work with this book. Professionals will appreciate it as a comprehensive reference work. This is a new edition of the first German translation from 1985. The book contains about 1,000 drawings of the work steps (drawings are much more instructive than photos here). George Buchanan is a successful woodworker, furniture maker, and regular columnist for the British ‚Traditional Woodworking Magazine’. He gained international recognition as the author of a standard work on furniture restoration. The comprehensive compendium for the practice of furniture restoration. A classic finally available again in the German language!
