I found this book really helpful.
I learned how to...
- remove oil marks from wood (p14)
- fix gaps in veneers (p15)
- using tracing paper to transfer the outline of an image to the wood and then painting in the image (p29)
- how to put stencils on your wood floors to add great borders to your room (p31)
- using stain to create oak wood grain (p36)
- how to do penwork - loved this idea (p67)

Sometimes the colors of stain they used or the stencils chosen - aren't my cup of tea, but the techniques are very interesting. It was worth it to learn the techniques & get some new jumping off ideas on how to refurnish my garage sale finds.
