A. Ashmun Kelly - Expert Wood Finisher
Format: PDF | Language: English | Size: 20.6 MB
Excerpt from The Expert Wood Finisher: A Text Book for the Guidance of the Expert Workman and Manual of Instruction for the Learner
The process of wood finishing is one of the simplest of the mechanical arts, and yet it demands of the workman a degree of skill not exceeded in any other line of handicrafts. The first requirement is a knowledge of woods, their physical structure, so that the treatment necessary to their perfect development of line and color may be understood. Then comes material and manipulation thereof, the staining and filling of the woods, and the final work of varnishing, rubbing, polishing, etc. Nor is this all, for the finisher must understand the composition and nature of the various stains and pigments he handles, the aniline dyes, the liquids, the mineral and vegetable pigments. While all these matters are fully and carefully described in this work, yet it will require experience in order to develop the complete workman. Study the instructions given here, and follow them carefully, and in due course you will succeed in mastering the art and becoming a skilled wood-finisher, - if you put heart into your work, for unless one loves his work he never can succeed in becoming its master.
I shall first take up the subject of woods. We try to place the woods under two heads, hard and soft, but these are not the most appropriate terms to use, and they are confusing to most of us. There are, botanically, two broad groups of tree species, the deciduous or broad-leaved tree, and the evergreen, needle-leaved or coniferous trees.
