Flew back from DC last evening. I was waiting the the terminal at Reagan National and wandered into one of the book / magazine stores there. I happened to find what I think is a new offering from Fine Woodworking called "finishing & refinishing furniture." I read almost the whole thing before I landed in Raleigh. It's loaded with great advice. It has articles on appropriate supplies, surface prep, different kinds of finish and even womething on paint. I think this is one I'll keep in the shop for reference. It's terrific.
