PRESERVATION OF THE COLOHR OF OAK DOORS.—The
discoloured parts may be stained with raw sienna, ground
in water with a little umber, and applied with a brush As
a grainer would do in distemper ; and after that is thir
roughly dry, which wilt be in less than an hour, give tlie
whole a coat of good copal varnish, and the next day an'
other. Oak being of a very porous nature, requires more
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
c irrespondent 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 of 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."—T46
