This is not so satisfactory as the other which has been

This makes a cheap and yet excellent substitute for tur-

This makes a fairl}" good product, and not very expensive.
The rosin spirit and benzoline are the cheapest substitutes that
can be found. The turpentine which is used adds to the cost,
but materially improves the quality.
Much depends upon the quality of the rosin spirit used ;
this ought to be a carefully refined product, as when such is not
the case, rosin spirit is apt to make the paint work livery and
to harden in the can.

TO IIVIITATE BOTANY BAY WOOD.
Take of French berries i lb. and boil them in 2 (quarts
of water till a deep yellow solution is got, and with it while
boiling give two or three coats to the work ; let it be nearly
dry, then with black stain, to be used hot, form the grain with
the brush. For variety, after giving two or three coats of
yellow, give one of strong logwood liquor, which will brighten
the colour, and then use the black stain.
BLACK STAIN.
For wood make a strong decoction of logwood (which will
keep, if heated now and then, a long time), also a solution of
sulphate of iron (copperas). Coat the wood with the logwood
first, and then with the sulphate of iron, and a beautiful black
stain will be produced, especially if the operations are repeated.
BLACK STAIN FOR OAK.
Oak may be dyed black and made to resemble ebony by
the following means : Immerse the wood for forty-eight hours
in a hot saturated solution of alum, and then brush it over
with a logwood decoction, as follows : Boil 1 lb. of the best
logwood with 1 gallon of water, filter through linen, and evap-
orate at a gentle heat until the volume is reduced one-half.
To every cjuart of this add i oz. of indigo extract. After
applying this dye to the wood, rub the lattei- with a saturated
and filtered solution of verdigris in hot concentrated acetic
acid, and repeat the operation until a black of the desired
intensity is obtained.
