A process has been discovered by
which ordinary wood has impaired to it
the appearance of walnut adapted TO
the finest cabinet work. The wood,
first thoroughly dried and warmed, is
coated once or twice with a liquid CON-
posed of n part, by weight, of extract
of walnut peel dissolved in six parts of
soft water by heating it to boiling, and
stirring. The wood thus treated is,
when half dry, brushed with a solution
of one part, by weight, of bichromate of
potash in five parts boiling water, and
after drying thoroughly, is rubbed and
polished. The color is said to DE fixed
in the wood to the depth of n or two
lines, and in the case Of red beech or
alder, the walnut appearance is perfect.

For the sake of those who may be deceived

man calling himself Simpson a certificate
