What's a good book in finishes

[Bill Wyko]

When I turn something I have so much fun........then comes finish:cool: Are there any good books with lots of illistrations I should look for?

I bought the six hours of DVD video from Russ Fairfield.http://www.woodturnerruss.com/Video.html
I have learned many things and it is great to see it done right.

In addition to Russ' sage knowledge you can go to the library to check out Bob Flexner's book and Jeff Jewitt's book on finishing. Both are excellent resources.

Another vote for Flexner and Jewitt. I have the Jewitt book from the Fine Woodworking "Complete Illustrated Guide..." series and like it. As requested, tons of pictures.

I'm not sure how directly applicable they are to round stuff, but at a minimum you'll understand a lot about different finish types.

I recently found FWW's collection of articles at Goodwill. It's about 20 years old, and has almost no info directly related to turning, but seems to be fairly comprehensive about techniques and recipes as of 1987. Have you considered Ubeaut's book? Haven't seen you lately down yonder. Language barrier?

Thanks everyone. I'll look into all of this.
