To Imitate Mahogany.

The Journal of the Board of Arts and Manufactures for Upper Canada, December 1867

The surface of any close-grained wood is planed smooth, and then rubbed with a solution of nitrous acid. Next apply with a soft brush a mixture of one ounce of dragon’s blood dissolved in a pint of alcohol and with the addition of a third of an ounce of carbonate of soda. When the polish diminishes in brilliancy, it may be restore by the use of a little cold-drawn linseed oil.
