Description
by Norman Goodwin (Author)
The Finisher's Craft is a comprehensive, hands-on guide for professionals, serious DIYers, and designers who are ready to elevate their surface work beyond the ordinary. From limewashed walls and Venetian plaster to high-gloss furniture, faux wood doors, and refined stenciling, this book delivers the essential knowledge, tools, and techniques needed to master the art of decorative finishes.
Organized into clearly structured chapters, this book begins with foundational guidance on tools, materials, and best practices-giving readers a deep understanding of brushes, rollers, sprayers, plasters, paints, and specialty coatings. Later chapters dive into advanced techniques, including spraying, faux finishing, staining, color layering, microcement application, and lime plasters like marmorino and tadelakt. You'll also find detailed instruction on decorative treatments such as color washes, woodgraining, distressing, and stenciling-perfect for furniture, doors, cabinetry, and architectural surfaces.
But this book is more than a technical manual-it's a working philosophy. With practical insight drawn from years of on-the-job experience, it teaches not only how to execute each finish, but next level.
