This book contains a classic article on treating wooden poles with preservative finishes, and includes information on tools, technique, common problems, and other related aspects. With simple directions and detailed illustrations, this volume constitutes a must-read for those with an interest in the subject, and would make for a useful addition to collections of woodworking literature.
