| Both things are beautiful, | 1 Relevance | 8 years ago | Kyle Barrett | General discussion | |
| Both things are beautiful, Waffle. My head started spinning with the physicality of cutting multiple bowls from the same piece of wood. I'd guess you need a specific curved tool to scoop cut. But it can't be on a turning machine. My mind has been boggled. Can't go wrong with those Reamie, I saw two on my commute the other morning, abandoned on the roadside. I'd hoped it was going to be my first roadside find, but as I approached them I could see the manufacturing of the underside was incorrect so I didn't even bother pulling over. | |||||

| ... didn't stick to a self-imposed limit on it (which happens a LOT at auctions). Or got sold a bill of goods from a private seller--or just got cocky and thought he could still make a profit in spite of the flaws. Maybe he needs the money badly to pay bills. Whatever it was, he obviously thought it was worth a shot to minimize the damage and possibly connect with a well-off rube who would be dazzled by the set. I know people like this. I don't get it myself--the sheer stress and anxiety of lying and cheating would do me in. But some are pretty inured to ... | |||||
| I recently got two teak salad | 1 Relevance | 8 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| I recently got two teak salad bowls that were jammed together so tightly that i didn't think I'd ever get them apart. I finally resorted to pouring a thin trail of salad oil around the upper one where it met the lower one and then just let it seep in for an hour or two. I added some more after the first application had a chance to soak in. After letting it sit for a few hours, I held onto the upper one and tapped gently at the lower one in kind of a downward motion with a dead blow hammer and it popped right off. I don't know if you can grip the little ... | |||||

| ... straight and conforming to the curve. Fabric will not do that---it'll just end up all rippled. I saw a lot of examples where some attempt was made to shape the foam but they didn't quite take it far enough, or maybe they cut the cushion cover to fit the curve and hoped that it would force the foam into shape. This might work with latex foam, which is pretty floppy even at the high density level but it won't work with urethane foam, at least not 100%. *do-able by building it up in layers starting with a narrow strip and ending with a layer that covers the ... | |||||

| I think you're safe doing the top rail exactly like your original weave. It's possible that different weavers had their individual quirks in the overall pattern. I've certainly seen that in Danish furniture woven with paper cord. I didn't look at the Sidecar post in detail but I know that on the pieces I've done with binder cane, the starting end usually was tacked and the finish end was just tucked under---which I think is because there's usually no way to anchor the finish end with a tack and still be able to hide it. When you tack the starting end, you ... | |||||

| I must confess my lack of enthusiasm for them, on a personal level. But that's not to be mistaken for a lack of interest or caring as to the when and who of the items I've been in possession of. That will always be of interest to me. I moved them on however as they didn't fit in, and it appears my apathy wasn't reflective of the market in general. Might have been more to do with the rosewood though. If you're in the UK, I suspect I saw these exact ones pop up. | |||||

| Hi Ernest' I just checked the danish furniture index site and typed in uldum mobelfabrik in the maker section of the search function. You will see the various designers who worked for them. Didn't have far to scroll when I think I have found your table!!! Can't be 100% sure based on the one pic you provided.Also their image is not so great either ! https://aleph-01.kb.dk/F/1G57QC6BCEI1RK1HAPVKKUFNJBSYY77G4URM7CIYDKE8NJV.... Ilse Rix; 1962.

| I think what Ernest is saying | 1 Relevance | 8 years ago | Spanky | Repair | |
| I think what Ernest is saying is that the layers of plywood are another species of wood. At least I'm pretty sure that they didn't make this type of plywood out of all layers of teak. The teak would only have been the top layer; the rest is likely birch or beech and would need to be stained to match the teak. I think, anyway. If this is the case, then sanding could easily remove enough of the stained layer so that the natural light color of the beech/birch/pine(?) is exposed. And if this is the case, then the refinisher should have touched up the stain ... | |||||

The forum owners added this security measure after repeated attacks from Chinese marketing bots that posted ads for fake university degrees---a different school in each post. They posted over 3,000 of these in the space of a week or two. They were deleted pretty quickly so if you didn't happen to log on at the right time (or wrong time, I guess), you wouldn't have noticed. I think they were pretty much all in the General discussion section, so if you never read that sec ... | |||||

| ... deep. One of them felt like it had slightly raised grain but it turned out to be just dry with some kind of dusty grit settled into the wood, which gave it a rough feel. Teak darkens a bit with age and when you sand, you remove this thin top layer to expose brighter, lighter wood underneath. Sometimes the difference is still noticeable after oiling, so if sanding is the only thing that will do the job be sure to feather it out well. Regarding whether or not there's a finish on there other than oil: most Danish teak is just oiled. I've seen some pieces ... | |||||

| ... bad quality, having said that I'm also not sure I'd be able to say it's definitely wool - it just feels and looks like it. The question of whether they were originally sprung or not remains for me though. I am guessing since they started off as a mattress company they probably were sprung. And I will never get replacements. I tried my Senator chair cushions in it and they didn't fit (shocker), which is a shame because there is a guy less than 100 miles from me selling some of those sprung cushions. | |||||

| Nope, not authentic. I saw one like this recently at a thrift store and even though I own a set of real ones, I was nearly taken in by it (of course the $10 price tag was part of the allure). But the back didn't look quite right and when I looked online for a photo of a real one, then I knew for sure. Then I started to notice the other less obvious differences, including less than great workmanship. There's a set on ebay right now that is listed as genuine but with backs that are even more obvious in their difference. I don't know who made these or where ... | |||||

| Final update here. After a lot of learning and developing some good calluses, I finish my first weaving project. You'll see on the bottom that I didn't do a great job guessing how much cord would do 1/3 of the seat, so I ended up doing it with two lengths of cord instead. Overall, I'm very happy. Thanks again for all of the help everyone. | |||||

| Thanks very much for the information. I didn't realise the "aniline" variants were in production still in the 80s. I've only seen the painted red ones until recently when I saw one of this type in a store and loved how it shows the beauty of the wood grain through. Thanks again for the advice. | |||||
