| I love ebonized finishes. Oh | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Mark | Repair | |
| ... actually was in the home of a Herman Miller rep, so it might have been constructed from spare parts. Now, the rep was a large man, at least 6'5", and had a big hairy belly. He cleared the table top during a house party...and danced on top of the glass table! I was shocked. The table didn't budge/squeak/bitch, or shatter. Oh. Off topic, hi Aunt Mark | |||||

You can usually find an ad from them on Craigslist but if you can't, email me and Ill try to find their contact info. It's my username @ gmail | |||||
| I did not buy it. Once I | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | lowwall | Identification | |
| I did not buy it. Once I figured out the company and how it's constructed, I realized there isn't any collector value there. At which point it becomes an expensive used couch. I also found a picture of the sofa from an earlier sale, so it turns out the upholstery job isn't as recent as the seller claims. I do like the design and the size is good. Too bad the current Overman company doesn't make these anymore, I guess dull design is what works for their market. For anyone searching for info on Overman. They were a Swedish firm that did relatively inexpensiv ... | |||||
| Hi Zephyr, | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | odile | Repair | |
| ... why I am asking on this forum. I do read books, try out on throw-away pieces and I did ask professional woodworkers. I know some ways to fix it, I am just interested in opinions of several people instead of one. Apparently that's too much to ask and everyone has already formed their opinion without knowing me. And I am not sure where you got the idea from that profit is all I am looking for. If that was so, I would have tried selling it in this condition for the highest price possible. But I want a fair price for a fair piece and I am looking to make someon ... | |||||
| I had a beautiful Kofod | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Spanky | Repair | |
| ... of course the wood was still quite stained. I didn't want to have to sand the whole thing, mostly because I hate sanding but also because there was a limit to how much time I spend on it. So i ebonized it with ink and did the cushions in a light gray Hallingdal. It was stunning, if I do say so myself! Ebonizing really draws attention to the sculptural qualities of a piece, and black goes well with everything. It's still a lot of work, though. But I got the chair for cheap because part of it was green, so it worked out ok for me. | |||||
| The only trick to stripping | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Spanky | Repair | |
| The only trick to stripping shellac or lacquer is to make sure the solvent is on there long enough to dissolve the finish. Both alcohol and acetone evaporate very quickly and you will most likely need to rewet the surface more than once before the finish is finally dissolved. If you start wiping it off before it's completely dissolved, then yes--it will still be gummy and you will need to scrub with steel wool or scrape with a scraper. If you wrap it first with a single layer of paper towel (I've tried multiple layers and it didn't seem to make any diffe ... | |||||

| Thanks for chiming in, folks. tktoo.... I was hoping to find someone in your area or maybe someone who worked for Plycraft. This chair needs some work on the leather but I'm really excited to own it. I had no idea what I was going to find when I got to the sellers. The for sale pic didn't show the shell, only the leather. | |||||
| Evaluations aren't allowed on | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Evaluations aren't allowed on this forum but you can just look at ended auctions on ebay (not current auctions and not listings that didn't sell) to get an idea of value. You may have to track them over a few months or longer to get the most accurate sense. | |||||
| Zephyr, sorry, I missed your | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Spanky | Repair | |
| Zephyr, sorry, I missed your response to the shellac issue--sounds like the alcohol didn't have enough time to dissolve the shellac. Sometimes there are many coats of shellac and it just takes awhile to get through them. I lay a paper towel on the shellacked surface (or do a single layer wrap on legs, rungs, etc) and saturate that with alcohol, let sit. Rewet as needed until all the shellac is dissolved, then just wipe off. I came up with this technique when I was stripping eight 6' high double hung windows, three rooms' worth of tall baseboards, nine or ... | |||||
| Thank you so much guys. The | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Kyle Barrett | Repair | |
| Thank you so much guys. The grain is on both of the arm rests - not just the knotted side - and the flash certainly didn't accentuate the contrast in tone on the backrest. Just trying to justify why I thought it may have been rosewood. I feel kind of silly now, but it is really hard to tell between unfigured rosewood and dark teak sometimes. I also compared it to the solid rosewood I have that's been sunbleached and thought it could be that, I do have some really faded rosewood. Besides, the advice you guys have given will be helpful regardless of the the wo ... | |||||
| Yes, true about the fabric! | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | chelle | Repair | |
| Yes, true about the fabric! I have a bad habit of getting just a tad too little, and then having to squeeze it out. I don't know why the picture of the cushions didn't work. I think they are original, though, the fabric looks very convincingly early 70s, a sort of itchy, nubby wool in this rust-brown colorway that I doubt anyone would've picked by the time the decade was half over. It's just close enough in color and saturation to sort of blend with the teak frame; but ends up looking muddy. I'm also planning to clean and oil the frame using your method, ... | |||||
