PRESERVATION OF THE COLOUR OF OAS D00n5.4,-21116
discoloured parts may be stained with raw sienna, ground
in water with a little umber, and applied with a brush ail
a g'rainer would do in distemper ; and after that is tho•
roughly dry, which will be in less than an hour, give tl 0
whole a coat of good copal varnish, and the next day an•
other. Oak being of a very porous nature, requireamore
varnish than other woods to resist the variableness of
our climate, and we frequently see the bottom parts of
oak doors almost black from neglecting this necessary
preservative to their colour and durability. Another
correspondent says :—" Let the doors be well cleaned--'
say with a cabinet-maker's scraper and glass-paper—then
give them one coat of equal proportion oft boiled and
raw linseed oil mixed ; after it is well dry, apply one
coat of best copal varnish, and the, doors will be re-
stored almost to their original state, and will be pro-
tected from the weather for a considerable time."—The
Builder.
