Consequently the selection of color and\u003cbr\u003etexture of the finish for wood trim is being done with the same care\u003cbr\u003ethat is exercised by the artist who chooses a frame for his painting.\u003cbr\u003eThe tendency to consider the wood finishing in homes and public\u003cbr\u003ebuildings simply as one element of a decorative scheme, along with\u003cbr\u003ethe several others, such as walls, floor, furniture, drapes, rugs and\u003cbr\u003eaccessories, is a wholesome development which is making interiors\u003cbr\u003etruly beautiful.\u003cbr\u003eThe wood finisher, whether he be house painter and decorator,\u003cbr\u003efurniture worker or arts and crafts artisan, is confronted with an array\u003cbr\u003eof finishes calculated to confuse even the most experienced unless his\u003cbr\u003eworking methods are based upon a sound knowledge of the most\u003cbr\u003emodern stains, fillers, varnishes and other materials. Then there has\u003cbr\u003ebeen a steady change in the kinds and grades of woods used for\u003cbr\u003ebuildings, cabinets and furniture, calling for complete knowledge of the\u003cbr\u003echaracteristics of present day woods.\u003cbr\u003eAnd to make the wood finisher's task even more difficult the\u003cbr\u003especifications by architects and customers change constantly to keep\u003cbr\u003epace with styles in furniture and decorations of standard, period and\u003cbr\u003enovel designs. The wish is always for something new and different.\u003cbr\u003eSo the wood finisher must keep up with the procession in pursuit of\u003cbr\u003estyle and vogue.\u003cbr\u003eThe matter of cost of producing finishes is usually the controlling\u003cbr\u003efactor, especially when surfaces to be finished are very large or are\u003cbr\u003emany times repeated, as when made up of hundreds of rooms in large\u003cbr\u003eoffice, hotel or similar structures. Then the cost of an extra coat or an\u003cbr\u003eextra sanding of the surface, for instance, may mean the difference\u003cbr\u003ebetween profit or loss on the job.\u003cbr\u003eIn this book the author has aimed to discard the old and obsolete\u003cbr\u003ematerials and methods which are too costly in labor to be practical in\u003cbr\u003ethis day of high wage scales. Only such materials and methods have\u003cbr\u003ebeen cited as are equal to present day demands for both practical and\u003cbr\u003eartistic finishes.\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003eI.

For no two jobs are\u003cbr\u003ealike in all respects and he is seldom consulted in the selection of the\u003cbr\u003ewood before erection.\u003cbr\u003eIn undertaking a job of interior wood finishing there are four factors\u003cbr\u003ewhich must be considered: the kind of wood, the color decorative plan\u003cbr\u003efor the room, the durability of the finish expected^ and the cost or\u003cbr\u003einvestment of money to be made.\u003cbr\u003eThe kind of wood to be finished determines broadly the character of\u003cbr\u003ethe finish to be employed. We may say that in common practice woods\u003cbr\u003eare finished as indicated by these groups:\u003cbr\u003eStain Natural\u003cbr\u003eMahogany Gumwood\u003cbr\u003eHickory Redwood\u003cbr\u003eChestnut Cedar\u003cbr\u003eOakMahogany\u003cbr\u003eAsh Walnut, American Holly Walnut, American Walnut, Circassian Bass\u003cbr\u003e,\u003cbr\u003ePaint or Enamel Pine, white Pine, yellow Pine, Oregon Fir Spruce\u003cbr\u003eButternut Oak, white, red Cottonwood Rosewood Cherry Cypress\u003cbr\u003eCherry Rosewood Gumwood Birch, select Chestnut Birch Gumwood\u003cbr\u003eEbony Redwood Cypress Satinwood Fir, select Cedar Redwood\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the kind of wood, the grade has much to do with the\u003cbr\u003eselection of the finish.
