The skills of a furniture restorer will help you make the most of bargains still to be found in rummage sales and auctions. THE COMPLETE BOOK OF FURNITURE RESTORATION enables you to recognize different woods and explains how they are related to styles of furniture, and teaches you to look at a piece as an expert would. The book details the tools you need and how to use and maintain them, and how to improvise to keep costs down. It has sections on chairs, cabinets, and tables, illustrating the most common faults, how they are caused and how to repair them in keeping with the style of furniture. The techniques are explained clearly enough for even the complete beginner to follow. The author shows how to remove scratches, dents and cigarette burns without spoiling the patina which gives old furniture much of its value. The art of reupholstering sagging chairs and sofas is made clear and a final section deals with repairs to wicker and rush furniture.
