Go back and look at some of his earlier posts.
You will learn something.

My (limited) experience as well. Which is why I used to start close to

Here's my solution.

Wow, thanks for the book


I've got a folder on my hard drive of all Robert's posts on finishing
for the last five or ten years ... no nonsense, hard earned, pearls of
finishing wisdom ... while his intellectual property, I may offer to be
one of his co-ghost writers one of these days.

I would like to see a finishing book written from the standpoint of the
wood. For example, given that one is working with redwood, what type(s)
of finish is good for sealing? For outdoor use? How about mahogany?
Or walnut that is exposed to sunlight? I'd buy a copy.
