I have just purchased "A Polishers Handbook". A finishing guide for Australian Woodworkers.
I am in no way connected with the
company" but would endorse this booklet for a persons interested in woodworking.
Although it is primarily aimed at "the french polishing" people, it has a great index outlining other types of finishes/oil based receipes.
Most of the questions asked in this forum are answered in this book.
I picked it up for less than thirty dollars at a major retailer (Toowoomba Woodworking).
