Wood Finish.
building News.l

Richness of effect may be gained in decora-
tive woodwork by using woods of different
tone, such as amaranth and amboyna, by in
laying and veneering. The Hungarian ash and
French walnut afford excellent veneers, espec-
tally the burls or gnarls. A few useful notes
on the subject are given by a recent American
authority. In vanishing, the varnishes used
can be toned down to match the wood, or be
made to darken it, by the addition of coloring
matters. The patented preparations known as
"wood-fllers" are prepared in different colors
for the purpose of preparing the surface of
wood previous to vanishing. They fill up the
pores of the wood. rendering the surface hard
and smooth. For polishing mahogany, walnut,
etc., the following is recommended: Dissolve
beeswax by heat in spirits of turpentine until
the mixture becomes viscid; then apply by
clean cloth, and rub thoroughly with flannel
or cloth. A common mode of polishing mahog-
any is by rubbing it first with linseed oil, and
then by cloth dipped in very fine brickdust;
q good gloss may also be produced by rubbing
with linseed oil, and then holding trimmings
or shavings of the same material against the
work in the lathe. Glass paper, followed by
rubbing, also gives good lustre.
There are various means of toning or darken-
ing woods for decorative effect-logwood, lime,
brown soft soap, dyed oil, sulphate Of iron, nj
trate of silver exposed to the suns rays car
Donate of soda, bichromate and permanganate
OF potash, and other alkaline preparations are
used for darkening the wood; the last three are
specially recommended. The solution is APP
piled by dissolving one ounce of the alkal in
two gills OF boiling water, diluted to the re-
quired tone. The surface is saturated with
soft sponge or flannel, and Immediately dried
with soft rags. The carbonate is used for dark
woods. Oil tinged with rose madden may be
applied to hard wood like birch, end red oil
is prepared from soaked alkanet Root in linseed
oil, The grain of yellow pine can be brought
out by two or three coats of japan much dilut-
ed with turpentine, and afterward oiled and
rubbed. To give mahogany the appearance of
age, lime water used before oiling is good
plan. In staining wood, the best and most
transparent effect is obtained by repeated light
coats of the same. For oak stain, strong So
luton Of oxalic acid is employed; for mahoga-
ny, dilute nitrous acid. A primary coat, or
coat of wood-fllers is advantageous. For ma
hogany stains the following are given: two
ounces of dragons blood dissolved in one quart
OF rectifed spirits of wine, well shaken; or raw
sienna in beer, with burnt sienna to give the
required tone; for darker stains boil half
pound OF madden and two ounces of logwood
chips in one gallon of water, and brush the de-
coction while hot over the wood. When dry,
paint with solution of two ounces of potash
in one quart of water. A solution of perman-
ganate of potash forms rapid and excellent
brown stain.
