Restoring Furniture

An old cabinet-maker writes that the best preparation for cleaning picture-frames and restoring furniture, especially that somewhat marred or scratched, is a mixture of three parts of linseed oil and one part spirits of turpentine. It not only covers the disfigured surface, but restores the wood to its original color, and leaves a luster upon the surface. Put on with a flannel, and when dry, rub with a clean soft wooden cloth.
