IMITATION OF HARD WOODS.

aiasea ~ the Manufacturer

,f.hamany nnd oak Are Easily sina-
niased by che Manufactures
Perhaps no st q men appreciate the
seriousness Of the timDcr-supply ques'
ton more than those engaged IN the
manufacture OF furniture, says the New
Yor,, i'osf. They have realized for
some years that a pinch In the hard
wood market II sure 10 come and they
have succeeded IN coping with the sit
uasion by the economical use OF ma
tcrlni BIZ the practice of vcncerlng and
the Initiation OF highestpriccd hard
woods
During the last few years the great
increase In the price OF hard woods
has created strong demand for wood
which can be used IN imitation. Tho
two woods that are most successfully
lmltnfcd are mahogany and oak. par
tlcularly the quartorcd oak In the gold
en- and darker finishes. Almost with
out exception the manufacturer mar
ke,s these limitations either rs imlta-
tons or under some registered trade
name and does not pretend TO deceive
bis customers
For Initiating mahogany cherry was
formerly used almost entirely. but the
diminished supply and the increased
price OF this wood have led mann
facturers to seek substitute which
would lend itself more readily TO tie
stain than cherry and at the same
time show the grain ard hold the gloss.
For these reasons birch. especially
curly birch. maple. beech and gum are
extensively used for all parts OF fur
niture. Even IN the better grades or
mahogany furniture birch and maple
stained to a mahogany finish are often
used for posts and frames, while gen
ulne mahogany in the form Of veneer Is
used for panels. tops and rolls.
In making imitation quartered oak
almost any wood can he used. since IN
this case tho original grain OF the wood
is trst covered with a filler and then
the Quartering Is printed on In dark
ink By the impression OF actual quar-
tered oak prepared by special processes.
Birch, maple, poplar and plain sawed
oak are commonly used for this work.
