	I have received the bird	1 Relevance	9 years ago	DrPoulet	Repair
	I have received the bird yesterday. Did not realize how big the thing actually is. The piece of wood on which it is glued is a nice thick piece of solid oak. The duck is perfectly centered on it and honestly it doesn't look like a home made addition at all... I guess I'll leave it as it is. I am afraid I'll do more harm than good trying to unglue it.

	Bakelite/Catalin Repair?	1 Relevance	17 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	Can anyone recommend someone who's capable of repairing clean breaks in a Polaroid 114 lampshade? I know my limitations, so I'd like to avoid doing it myself and inevitably having to paint the thing to hide the repair. There used to be a guy named Dan Blake who did REALLY high-quality repair of Bakelite radio cabinets, etc., but now he's apparently given up that business to be a hippie artist. Is there anyone else?
	and lets not forget...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	and lets not forget... that in this particular case, the piece in question is so UN-close to a Noguchi that it is laughable, and if Herman Miller WERE to sue, they would lose. This thing is so hilariously and obviously wrong and bad, and is in no danger of copyright infringement. Sure, it's a wood base with a glass top, but that is about all it shares with a Noguchi table. Some dealers have no professional pride.
	Do not use it!	1 Relevance	14 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	Do not use it! Minwax Gunstock 231 is a pigment stain, not an oil finish. I have no idea what's up with HM or the others here with the whole "gunstock oil" thing. Are we in some sort of time warp to 1959 or something? It's the 21st century now, ladies and gentlemen. We have way better stuff these days than "boiled" linseed oil... and that's from a traditionalist. Do yourself a favor. Buy a little can of Watco and follow the directions printed right on it.
	At Least	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	At Least I never resort to petty name-calling. I'm sorry my attempt at humour was mistaken for 'derailing' this (in my opinion futile) thread. @ Foxxy, I am completely unaware of any contribution you have ever made to this forum, but, for the record, I'm 51. As will you be one day, hopefully. I've been posting here for several years and have tried to be helpful whenever possible. Being 51 is not a bad thing, and nor is this forum, or the internet for that matter, the preserve of the young.
	it worked	1 Relevance	15 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	it worked Pulled off the backing and noticed that someone for sure tried to stain this thing and didn't even seal it with a coat of poly. Well looks like I'm going to have to put a little elbow grease to restore this think but it sure will be a beaut once it's done. Anyone have any idea who it could be by or just a random brand? Looks very much like an Arne Jacobson style chair I saw in a local shop except it didn't have swivel base.

	.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	cada	General discussion
	. You know, I hadn't thought of it like that Robert - and I see exactlly what you mean. There's a flip side to every line of thought I guess. And do you know, I spend a fortune on clothes (Isabel Marant, Vivienne Westwood, Rick Owens especially) so I do believe in the importance and value of the fashion/style industry. I maybe have to own up to a deep routed dislike of LV and the whole 'it-bag' thing. You've given me something to think about there.
	I think it's because there...	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I think it's because there... I think it's because there have been a lot of people in the past who pop in here with a story about how they found a chair or table or whatever and they spin some yarn about where it came from and how they're so thrilled to own it and by the way, does anyone know who designed it? And denizens of the forum offer help and even do research and then bingo! Turns out to be a dealer who just wanted to know what it was before listing it on Ebay. That's why. But you didn't put on an act like that. You just didn't mention right off the bat that you needed to know so that you could sell the thing. That's all.
	an example	1 Relevance	15 years ago	niceguy	General discussion
	an example squire, I know you asked about furniture influenced by Wiener Werkstätte, but the first thing that came to mind was the porcelain I use by Bernardaud of Limoges, France. The pattern, that is no longer in production, was called Wiener. The literature claimed that it was based on work by Josef Hoffmann. Good luck with your project.
	No sense in reporting...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	virtueaudio	General discussion
	No sense in reporting... Ebay won't do a thing about it. It's very difficult to prove its a fake, despite the fact that many of us know it is. Ebay wont waste their time with something like this. They regularly overlook bigger more widespread scams and will only respond when faced with legal action from someone with financial resources to make the threat credible.
	Ark, sorry for the poor...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	shragae	General discussion
	Ark, sorry for the poor... Ark, sorry for the poor quality of the pictures -- they were actually taken 20 years ago in Boca. The furniture is currently in storage so I can't get nice digital prints for you. The "gays" comment was not meant to be negative. My gay friends have much better taste than any of my straight ones -- and that includes me! My thought was it might be an "in thing" at the moment. I simply don't know. Helpful comments are appreciated. Thanks.
