| 520 | _a"French Polishing and Enamelling: A Practical Work of Instruction" by Richard Bitmead is a practical guide focused on the techniques of furniture finishing, specifically written in the early 20th century. The work contains detailed instructions for achieving high-quality finishes using methods such as French polishing and enamelling, while also offering numerous recipes for creating polishing materials and varnishes. It serves as both an instructional manual for professionals in cabinetry and amateur hobbyists interested in wood finishing. The opening of this instructional manual provides insights into the origins of French polishing and its evolution over time, briefly alluding to earlier techniques that were commonly employed in furniture polishing. Bitmead begins by discussing the essential skills a proficient French polisher must possess, from understanding various types of wood to mastering staining techniques that enhance the appearance of lesser-quality materials. He emphasizes the importance of knowledge in process and material choice, as well as the careful preparations necessary for successful polishing. This sets a foundational tone for the rest of the book, indicating that readers will encounter a wealth of practical advice to elevate their furniture finishing skills.
