Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. _THE IMPROVING AND PREPARATION OF FURNITUREWOODS._For a French polisher to be considered a good workman he should, in addi-tion to his ordinary ability to lay on a good polish, possess considerableknowledge of the various kinds of wood used for furniture, as well as themost approved method of bringing out to the fullest extent their naturaltones or tints; he should also be able to improve the inferior kinds of wood, and to stain, bleach, or match any of the fancy materials to which his artis applied, in a manner that will produce the greatest perfection. The fol-lowing information is given to facilitate a thorough knowledge of the aboveprocesses.=Improving.=-Iron filings added to a decoction of gall-nuts and vinegarwill give to ebony which has been discoloured an intense black, after brush-ing over once or twice. Walnut or poor-coloured rosewood can be improvedby boiling half an ounce of walnut-shell extract and the same quantity of cat-echu in a quart of soft-water, and applying with a sponge. Half a pound ofwalnut husks and a like quantity of oak bark boiled in half a gallon of water3 RICHARD BITMEADwill produce much the same result. Common mahogany can be improvedby rubbing it with powdered red-chalk (ruddle) and a woollen rag, or by firstwiping the surface with liquid ammonia, and red-oiling afterwards. For arich mild red colour, rectified spirits of naphtha, dyed with camwood dust, or an oily decoction of alkanet-root. Methylated spirits and a small quantityof dragon's blood will also produce a mild red. Any yellow wood can be im-proved by an alcoholic solution of Persian berries, fustic, turmeric, or gam-boge. An aqueous decoction of barberry-root will serve the same purpose.Birch when preferred a warm tint may be sponged with oil, very slightlytinted with rose-madder or Venetian red; the greatest care should be used, or it will be rendered unnatural in appearance by becoming too red. Maplewhich is of a dirty-brown colour, or of a cold grey tint, and mahogany, ash, oak, or any of the light-coloured woods, can be whitened by the bleachingfluid (see "MATCHING"). Numerous materials may be improved by theaid of raw linseed-oil mixed with a little spirits of turpentine. Artificial grain-ing may be given to various woods by means of a camel-hair pencil and rawoil; two or three coats should be given, and after standing for some time theground should have one coat of oil much diluted with spirits of turpentine, and then rubbed off.=Matching.=-Old mahogany furniture which has been repaired may be eas-ily matched by wiping over the new portions with water in which a noduleof lime has been dissolved, or by common soda and water. The darkenersfor general use are dyed oils, logwood, aquafortis, sulphate of iron, and ni-trate of silver, with exposure to the sun's rays. For new furniture in oak, ash, maple, etc., the process of matching requires care and skill. When it isdesirable to render all the parts in a piece of furniture of one uniform toneor tint, bleach the dark parts with a solution of oxalic acid dissolved in hotwater (about two-pennyworth of acid to half a pint of water is a powerfulsolution); when dry, if this should not be sufficient, apply the white stain(see pp. 11, 12) delicately toned down, or the light parts may be oiled. Forpreserving the intermediate tones, coat them with white polish by means of Master the transformative alchemy of woodcraf Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
