Brightwork: The Art of Finishing Wood

The Brightwork Companion

by Rebecca Whitman

Got teak? Get Rebecca! Beautifully finished brightwork draws the admiring attention of boaters and non-boaters alike. Whitman tells in detail how to achieve that admiration. Brightwork belongs on your coffee table, no one should take the chance to ruin the photos with dripped varnish and sanding dust. Therein lies the value of The Brightwork Companion; shorter and less expensive, its the book to have in one hand while the varnish brush is in the other. Both volumes have exquisite photographs of properly prepared brightwork. They are a joy to read and admire by yachtsmen and landlubbers alike.

If you love brightwork, if you want a professional finish, get Rebecca!
