	No idea on maker or history,...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	ZooMob	General discussion
	No idea on maker or history,... No idea on maker or history, but I've got a hunch that was not the original color. Some sort of bronze or dark green would look great on that thing. Nice score.
	aren't these beds designed...	1 Relevance	15 years ago	bj	General discussion
	aren't these beds designed... aren't these beds designed by Hans Wegner? they look good in my opinion. the only thing that would bother me is the footend, i don't like them (being tall, maybe), they constrain the sleeping space.
	Honestly, spike...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Lunchbox	General discussion
	Honestly, spike... A dining table shouldn't be such a worry safety wise. I don't think they're trying to be crass. A glass top coffee table is one thing. But you really needn't worry so about the dining slab.
	i've...	1 Relevance	17 years ago	PasternakAntiqu...	General discussion
	i've... i've spray painted a number in the past and the paint holds up amazingly well over time (and at $3 per chair vs $200-300 per chair it's a bit more practical) the only thing i care about is the smell. will the paint cover the smell, and if not, what can i do to get rid of it. J.
	Found it - Heron Rocking	1 Relevance	10 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Found it - Heron Rocking Chair by Mitsumasa Sugasawa for Tendo Mokko. VERY nice! I love the dresser, too. I wonder if the sticker is just a moving company thing? It's about the size and shape of the ones they use to keep shipments together. eta: one of the Dibs listings says that the chairs are oak with rosewood accents! I'm a little green with envy but always happy to know that people are still getting great stuff for nothing.
	I don't think you'll be dissappointed	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	I don't think you'll be dissappointed My equally indecisive, anal-retentive, research-doing engineer of a father has loved his. He has the iPod set up and in his workshop. He and his vast collection of chisels, lathes, routers fret saws, etc delight to the sounds of Beethoven and Brahms whilst he grins like an idiot and announces, 'look how small that thing is!....it's amazing!'
	RE: novice confusion about Eames swivel chair bases	1 Relevance	7 years ago	tktoo2	General discussion
	@oneoneupday, congratulations on your impending parenthood! Please take some fatherly advice and save your money. You're gonna need it. An Eames lounge set is the last thing you want for your situation even if you could find a good one in that price range (winning lottery or being struck by lightning more likely). I have a spouse, children, and one of these sets, so you'd do well to trust me on this. Also, don't knock sitting on a 90-year-old's face until you've actually tried it.
	I'm interested in this one	1 Relevance	9 years ago	Spanky	Identification
	I'm interested in this one too as I always look for an ID on it when I see listings, having upholstered one once with no markings. Most aren't marked at all and I've never seen any reference to John Bone in any description of one until now. The one you linked to is listed on four different venues and is the only thing on the internet associated with "8001 Made in Denmark", according to google search results that I'm getting. The seller hasn't included a photo of the mark in any of the listings, unfortunately.
	I have sticky wood.	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Grendel_The_Cat	General discussion
	I recently bought a little wood dresser that feels... sticky. I'm guessing its years of smoking, fingertips, and furniture oil. I've washed it down with Murpheys and the rags are coming back cleaner, but still a nasty orange color and the whole thing feels tacky. Does anyone have some recommendations for a way to easily clean it indoors?
	minimum,	1 Relevance	10 years ago	niceguy	General discussion
	minimum, Thank you. Spanky had previously identified Pier 1 as the importer in the last thing acquired thread. This is brand name is generally below my radar. The clean lines and apparent hand finish are a nice vintage touch. Thank you for a believable date and reliable location. I am sure all Pier 1 production has now shifted to the PRC.
	Found parts of Erector set no	1 Relevance	10 years ago	_	General discussion
	Found parts of Erector set no. 8 from 1926 in a shoe box for $2. It builds a 4' long zeppelin. Not the easiest thing to put together if you have grown up hands and fingers.
	Thanks for the comments!	1 Relevance	11 years ago	thepapers	General discussion
	Thanks for the comments! I asked for expert opinions because it just doesn't quite look or feel like the other examples of rosewood housewares that I have around to compare with and the designer also did a lot of small items in teak. The wood feels less dense and appears grainier (?) than all of the rosewood grinders, trays and boxes I have. I thought I would check in with you all before I claimed it was one thing or the other. Thanks again!
	mgee	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	mgee no misunderstanding, I was just kidding around when I referenced you there. In some ways I AM a stick in the mud purist. Even when originality is not pretty, I would rather see a raw and clunky original than a better made derivative. I guess that just comes from the fine artist in me. I agree with you about an individual's rights to do a thing for the need or pleasure or fun or learning. I agree with SDR's long post above too. (Even though I have had my go arounds about patina with him! LOL)
	Something's not right...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	onegroovydude	General discussion
	Something's not right... I just got back, and I couldn't help but feeling that there was a piece of art somewhere lurking in this forum that wasn't getting the rust prevention information, and treatment it deserved. I heard it somewhere. Somewhere here. Scrolling through. OMG....!! There it is. EH and Woody. I can't believe it. Not to worry everybody, not to worry. I've got it all figured out. It looks like we're gonna have to get to this thing immediately , before there's just a cinder left hanging on a nail. Here's what we have to do first..... Btw... Happy Holidays everyone..:)
	A lot of good stuff can be found	1 Relevance	14 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	A lot of good stuff can be found at great prices IF you are diligent and patient. There are already tons of tips in the "The last thing you acquired" threads (16 of 'em and counting!) on this board. But you need to also develop an idea of the style that you like. To just say "designer seating under $400" is very broad. On the other hand, if you are thinking that you want brand new pieces that retail for under $400---good luck!
