number of separate pieces of twine to a -minimum original antique type galleys . The amateur upholsterer, how-
ever, will do well to estimate the amount of twine required by means of a rough
rule of thumb, such as multiplying the total dimensions of the frame by I%,

STAINING

This is particularly true in the case of mineral streakin maple, for example, sap streaks in walnut, or gumwood with uneven colori g antique dutch cylindrical bureau . Stain is also used to soften and blend the obtrusive markings of inferior wo ds such as fir, spruce, and yellow pine stylized acorns . And finally, stains may be employed on close-pored, cheaper woods to imitate the preferred cabinet woods, or in novelty finishes austrian furniture manufacturer . This means that beech, birch, pine, and poplar call be stained to resemble maple; birch, gumwood, spruce, and poplar to simulate walnut; and birch and gumwood in imitation of mahogany golden rococo wall-mounted consoles .

OUTDOOR FURNITURE
WITHIN the limitations of season and climate, the universal urgetoward outdoor living has become an important trend, which is noticeably reflected in modern architectural design antique desks by wilkinson and son . -New houses are being constructed to afford privacy to verandas, loggias, and patios dutch east india marks . Older houses are having their porches emphasized and their backyards glamorized antique pattern coat of arms . Picture windows and French doors are opening up the outside walls so that the formerly sporadically used porches and terraces have become integrated into the home as “outdoor rooms french table stretcher draw leaf .”
This flowing of the home’s interior into the open air has naturally exerted certain influences upon porch and lawn furniture design, as well as on exterior decoration neo-classical side chair . While comfort durability- remain paramount considerations, the “outdoor living room” conception has introduced a diversity in utility and styling
Y utility
formerly lacking antique gate leg table very narrow . This is especially noticeable where protection from weathering exists, either due to overhead cover or climatic conditions ruba glass factory in italy . Under the-*– favorable circumstances outdoor furniture very properly merges with its more delicate-appearing indoor counterparts antiques lamps made by universal statuary co. .
Construction Details urn cutlery box . In general, however, it is the accepted fate of outdoor furniture to be left to the mercy of the elements for weeks and months at a time 1700s brass tea caddy . This requires a rugged type of construction whose basic simplicity makes optional the use of the more complicated forms of joinery robert adam dining tables . Since there is no need to hide the heads of screws or nails, the lowly butt joint may well come into its own, and a simple set of hand tools suffice for all operations, with the possible exception of the cutting of satisfactorily rounded wheels mihalik art pottery ashtray . If these are not obtainable from a local lumber mill or woodworking shop, it is often possible to utilize the disk wheels from toy wagons or scooters, particularly when the finished piece is to be painted voc dutch furniiture chest photos . It should be observed in passing that galvanized screws and nails are sufficient for this outside construction, unless salt air is prevalent double gate-leg table antique . Tn the latter case brass or bronze screws and cement-coated or copper nails will furnish the necessary corrosive resistance royal court floral bone china hand made & painted by craftsman staffordshire . Where glue is used it should, of course, be waterproof c19 commodes .
Choice of Wood art nouveau france origins . When selecting a wood for outdoor construction it is well to choose a heartwood that is relatively resistant to decay; the untreated sapwood of nearly all species has a low resistance to decay ebay - 8 legged mahogany drop leaf dining table . As noted in Chapter r, the different species of woods are decay-resistant to varying degrees antique bentwood chair kohn .

Finish leaves for old oak table? . Hand in hand with the selection of the kind of wood goes the choice of finish antique worcester porcelain factory+grainger . For white and colored effects, a good grade of lead and oil gloss paint applied in at least three coats will suffice under normal conditions dog kennel dressers . At the seashore, or wherever salt air is prevalent, it is advisable to substitute 15 to 20 per cent zinc white for a like amount of white lead antique 6 ft. st. louis credenza values . Since the zinc requires more oil to break it down, it should be mixed separately before adding it to the lead mixture mahogany cellaret .
Mildew may develop oil paint that is continuously exposed to damp, humid, and shady conditions, especially when the paint film is soft antique dressing table maple venner . White paint containing both lead and zinc requires a minimum of oils and therefore dries so hard that it is highly resistant to mildew 1930 upholstered chair . Darker paints require more oil and are consequently more subject to mildew antique narrow drop leaf table .
Mildew Prevention dog kennel dressers . Although some ready-mixed paints now contain a mildew-preventive compound, the home painter can procure his own fungicide and add it to his prepared paint without difficulty dressers with shelves on the side . To harden the film, the oil that has risen to the top of the unstirred paint is poured off at the rate of one pint to the gallon of mixture 19century british armschairs . This is replaced by one-half pint of turpentine to each gallon of paint verlys smoke glass . The additional preventive of an ounce of mercurous chloride
(calomel), dissolved in the turpentine before mixing, will produce a paint whose hard, fungus-proof film will be highly resistant to the sooty or rusty mildew deposits georgian telescopic silver candlestick .
Colors antique english ironstone . The choice of colors is a matter of personal taste canterbury music stand . Garden furniture is commercially finished in an unobtrusive green or in the universally satisfactory white, which is prone to chalking japanese botanical motifs . Nowadays there are available durable, sun-resistant enamels with alkyd-resin bases, and for furniture constantly exposed to still and weather it may prove advisable to finish with an automobile enamel napolean empire furniture . Whatever the medium used, the home painter call indulge his or her fancies in two color applications tavolino giapponese realizzato in lacca e avorio . With a bright flower garden or shrubbery background providing the dominant color note, the furniture can well be subordinated by using contrastingly cold colors, such as a French gray and blue dining room table made from huge clock . On a tiled terrace, or against a brick wall, the warm colors of the bricks might be picked up images antique table wares ming dynasty .’a the furniture seats or table tops, with the brown door and window trim reflected in the legs and uprights antique stanford refectory table with end leafs . Suggested color combinations are included in Chapter
Finishing Methods black stone top coffee table octagon antique . When it comes to the matter of application, there are many amateur painters who are either unmethodical in their procedures, or are so engrossed in appearance and color that they lose sight of the fact that the primary reason for painting any outdoor construction is to preserve it antique fluted leg desk . This is likely to result in the omission of large areas concealed from sight, which receive no benefit of a protective paint film antique rococo figurines . By upending the piece of furniture and painting the lower parts first, not only will the unseen surfaces receive their share of paint preservative, but much bending of back or knees will be avoided 16th century royalty dining room tables . Special attention should be paid to all sides and crevices of joints, where water can enter and remain to the detriment of end grains marcel breuer pel . A spray gun is most useful at these points antique sofa made in italy .
Furniture constructed from milled lumber that is to be stained or finished “natural” must have its pores thoroughly closed to resist the corrosive effects of weathering 17th cent refectory table . The matter of fillers and finishes is thoroughly covered in Chapter 5; it is well to remember, however, that a final coat of a good grade of exterior spar varnish is excellent weatherproofing antique 18th century soldiers chest . If spare time is rationed, it is good practice to coat the raw wood with raw linseed oil as partial protection until the final finish can be applied, at some later date art deco antiques contemporary world paris .
In conclusion it is suggested that the styling and, to some extent, the finish Of most outdoor furniture described in this chapter are such that it will render year-round recreational service indoors in the rumpus room, when seasonal changes curtain off the extra “outdoors room bronze+chrome+sculpure+josephine baker .” Peasant painting with a protection coating of spar varnish will enliven the recreational hours, both indoors and out antique apostle spoons .

Two characteristics strongly accented in most outdoor chairs are a strong, weatherproof type of construction and extreme concessions to comfort 1800’s reproduction dining room tables .
