Okay, so you're into woodworking and you've built something awesome, but now you're staring at a can of finish feeling totally lost?

We've all been there.

This book, 'Understanding Wood Finishing' by Bob Flexner, is pretty much the bible for getting that part right.

Now, this particular copy is used and in acceptable condition—it's got some notes and highlighting inside from a previous owner, but honestly, that might be a bonus.

Think of it as a pre-annotated guide!

It's the 1998 trade paperback edition from Reader's Digest.

The book is packed with everything you need to know: how to select the right finish for your project, how to prep the wood, and step-by-step instructions on applying it like a pro.

It covers all kinds of topics from stains and varnishes to shellac and lacquer.

At 320 pages, it's a comprehensive resource that weighs in at about 1 pound.
