Summary "Practical Graining" by William E. Wall is a detailed guide on the art of wood graining, written during the late 19th century. This instructional work focuses on the techniques and tools used to imitate the appearance of various types of wood, emphasizing the combination of color and texture. The book is likely aimed at painters and decorators looking to refine their craft and produce more aesthetically pleasing finishes in their work. The opening of "Practical Graining" introduces readers to the author's experience and philosophy on the graining process, highlighting its importance in interior decoration. Wall outlines the foundational steps involved in preparing surfaces for graining, discussing the necessary tools and the importance of proper color mixing. He emphasizes the durability and visual appeal of graining compared to other painting methods, advocating for meticulous preparation despite some painters’ reluctance to expend the necessary effort. Wall also offers practical advice on removing old paint and achieving a smooth base, setting the stage for the more detailed instructional content that follows in the subsequent chapters.
