Covering everything from cleaning leather to creating the perfect stain, the book gives readers the best tips and techniques to restoring, repairing, and caring for their pieces, along with Christophe's favorite refinishing methods, complete with illustrated, step-by-step guides. You'll even get a full history lesson to help you identify your next flea market find.
