I suggest that you also look into both of Jeff Jewitt's books currently
available as well as Michael Dresdner's. While Flexner's book is the first,
and therefore bible when it comes to understanding finishing, the other
books are geared a little more toward application.

Good Luck

Thanks Baron, that's good advise.
I'm still considering my different options. With it being veneer and post
WWII I'll prolly refinish the whole batch to keep meownself. Dining table
&
buffet, hutch (not the same one as the ad but very nice work), host chair
&
5 side chairs, I have my free time accounted for the entire winter or
somewhere thereabouts.
I'd better get busy with it soon. I have "Understanding Wood Finishing"
and
a library card so "Hiho, hiho, etc..."
