have buffed the wood surface , Buto
employs a simple technique that
will "take out all the minor imperfec-
tions."
Using a very fine "000" grade steel
wool , apply the wax lightly, and then
polish two
to three
times until
the desired
finish is
achieved.
If this still
leaves you
less than
satisfied
jaid that
you can take your efforts one
step further by applying a mixture of
one-third linseed oil and two-thirds
turpentine like a liquid polish, then
wiping the piece down soon after
with a cotton cloth. This will camou-
flage many surface scratches.
Buto cautioned readers to thor-
oughly water down the rags after
use and store them outside until
they can be properly disposed of as
the mixture of the linseed and tur-
pentine makes the rags highly flam-
mable.
Loving care for
your furniture
For pieces that are damaged ,
veneered , lacquered or have more
extensive surface condition issues ,
you should consult with a profes-
sional.
Ongoing maintenance is an impor-
tant aspect of furniture care. Prod-
ucts such as Endust and Pledge
only add to surface buildup and
should not be used. Instead just a
minimal amount of lemon oil on a
cotton cloth will work well for regular
dustings. To restore shine , periodic
applications of Butcher 's Wax tend
to work the best.
How often you need to wax will
really depend on the location of the
piece in the home. If the furniture
is located in a sunny or very warm
spot , it may be necessary to re wax
every six months , if the piece is in a
more protected spot , your hard work
may last up to a year.
So when you are cleaning out the
attic or basement this fall and dis-
cover a family heirloom or forgotten
treasure , consider spending a day
outside restoring it. It's easy, fun
and a great way to spend
^mmmf
a fall day. Jtr
