The HomeWood Finisher Issue 10 Volume 3 (May-June) Preserving Antique Wood Furniture If you have a treasured piece of wood furniture sitting in your attic that has become faded and dingy with time, you may be tempted to touch it up with a new finish or fresh coat of paint.
“Don’t,” says antique expert Peter Markham. Curator of the furniture department at the Museum of Everyday Life in Winchester, Massachusetts, Markham has seen many different attempts to restore old wood furniture. “In many cases,” he says, “well-meaning people have destroyed the value of the furniture by attempting to refurbish it.”
The value of an antique increases when the piece looks as close to possible as it would have when it was originally used. Eighteenth-century country furniture, for example, used to be painted with bright, colorful hues. Today, however, people often prefer to strip off the paint, since modern tastes tend to call for more subtle coloring.
“That’s fine if all you want is a piece of everyday furniture,” says Arne Lavranson, an antiques expert with the popular television show Price My Piece. But if you want to sell your treasure someday, it’s better to leave the furniture as is—flaking paint and all.
The one exception, say both Lavranson and Markham, is wax. While oil-based finishes can stain wood, solid wax protects the wood’s surface and can be easily removed if further restoration is desired. | 164. What is Peter Markham's job? 165. What is indicated about eighteenth-century country furniture? 166. The phrase “call for” in paragraph 3, is closest in meaning to 167.

Did you see the scarves I brought in? They're the product samples I picked up from a potential supplier — Tex-Garmm in Shenzhen.
Tom Lopez [10:12 A.M.] Yes, I was surprised at how good-looking they are.
Sue Dalhart [10:13 A.M.] Me too. My colleagues really liked their colors.
Michael Manno [10:14 A.M.] Agree! And their thick knit fabric is a plus.
Tom Lopez [10:15 A.M.] How about the manufacturing cost?
Michael Manno [10:15 A.M.] It’s $5 per unit. So, yes, Tex-Garmm would be more expensive than our other suppliers.
Tom Lopez [10:16 A.M.] Hmm... it’s more than we had anticipated.
Sue Dalhart [10:17 A.M.] That’s true. The products are attractive, though. With a good marketing plan, we could make a profit on them.
Tom Lopez [10:18 A.M.] What is Tex-Garmm’s minimum order total?
Michael Manno [10:19 A.M.] It’s 500 scarves. Why don’t we put in an order for that amount? We can then test market the scarves as limited edition items.
Sue Dalhart [10:20 A.M.] Great. I’ll have my team brainstorm marketing ideas during our afternoon meeting. Tom? I’d like you to sit in on our discussion.

December 12—After a long five-year hiatus, singer Tatiana Newton has finally released her new album, River Flows, to much fanfare. The album has received rave reviews and is expected to have high record sales.
The Los Angeles native says she took a lot of time writing this album because she was busy managing Pink Artists, Inc., a Nashville-based record label she launched three years ago. “Starting my own music company has been difficult yet extremely rewarding,” Newton shares. “I’ve learned so much about the business and creative side of the music industry.”
Although Newton is now the head of a record label, she wants to continue to be a successful singer as well. The artist is in the middle of planning a nationwide tour. She plans to kick off her tour with one performance at Jarcher Arena in Los Angeles in May. “I’ve been living in Nashville for the past couple of years, so I think it would be special to come back and play in my hometown for a night,” Newton said. | Jarcher Arena Weekly Events May 23 6:00 P.M. | May 24 7:00 P.M. | May 25 9:00 A.M. | May 26 9:00 A.M. | May 27 8:00 P.M. | May 28 7:00 P.M. | May 29 7:00 P.M. | Lightning vs. Gladiators | Corinne Yi | Tysons Car Expo | Tysons Car Expo | Mya Wade Live | Tatiana Newton | Tatiana Newton | Event Type: Sports | Event Type: Music | Event Type: Exhibition | Event Type: Exhibition | Event Type: Comedy | Event Type: Music | Event Type: Music | | www.jarcherarena.com/guestservices Jarcher Arena Frequently Asked Questions Q: Can I bring a camera?
