You asked, and I finally did it! For the first time, my Beginner’s Guide to Furniture Refinishing is available as a printed, spiral-bound book.
I created this guide to walk you through the furniture refinishing process from start to finish, whether you're working on your very first piece or want a solid reference to keep in your workshop.
And the spiral binding was intentional. This is a guide that's meant to be used. Lay it flat on your workbench, flip to the section you need, and keep it right beside you while you're working.
Inside, I cover the fundamentals of furniture refinishing, including choosing furniture, cleaning and prep, repairs, sanding, stripping, painting, staining, topcoats, tools, supplies, and more.
This is my first time offering one of my digital guides as a physical book, and I have begun shipping all the books I have in stock. I have more on the way, but not sure if I will continue with hard copy printing in the future.
So if you've been asking for a hard copy, now is the time to grab one. This may be a one-time release, and I can't guarantee that the printed edition will continue to be available beyond the current shipment.
