	Definitely	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Riki	General discussion
	Definitely an American one-off based on a Bauhaus-esque design. We write our dates differently in Europe with the date first, then the month. I like the outer shape but the clunky piece in the middle bothers me. Just use it and enjoy it--nobody else will ever have one like it.
	Have you considered	1 Relevance	15 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	Have you considered a protective sheet of glass? Seriously. A desk gets used differently than a credenza; unless your desk is purely decorative, it'll soon be scratched, stained, and dented unless it has a glass top.
	This is how it is done! REAL ebonized wood I did.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Paso	General discussion
	This is how it is done! REAL ebonized wood I did. I like to sculpt as a hobby. This is Cherry hardwood ebonized and rubbed with clear wax. To get proper ebonized wood, you need... Apple Vinegar (I've tried basic vinegar and it never worked well) Iron. Real good iron. Some peopel claim nails and such but I used the shavings from my bench grinder. I have used to grind lawnmower blades and such. Mix the two together and wait wait wait. it takes a good week to get a potent concoction. But when applied to raw wood (And it can't be sealed in any way)it will start ...
	Spanky, I guess it's	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Dana@mid2mod	General discussion
	Spanky, I guess it's Spanky, I guess it's really not so very different from all the regional pronunciations in the States. And names are even harder to pin down. If you lined up five people named Wegner, they might all pronounce it differently...and they'd all be correct. That's why I finally decided to go with the pronunciation provided to me by someone who knew Hans J. Wegner and his daughter personally. It was starting to give me a headache. 🙂 Sometimes words are fun...and sometimes make you run in circles.
	Actually, I guess I should clarify...	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Lunchbox	General discussion
	Actually, I guess I should clarify... By my assertion, the rope edged chairs were only really produced into '52 and the second generation through '55, maybe '56. So I guess I should've worded that differently And the latest transitional shell I've ever seen or seen documented is '59. But there's the question of when they were dated and whether it actually correlates to date of birth. I mean, who's to say whether they ink stamped the chairs in California upon production or rather after shipping and possibly selling them in Michigan? There's just no authority ...
	Hey!	1 Relevance	15 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Hey! I think that Telechron model is it! I remember it slightly differently, but that might just me my memory. Or maybe it was a slight variation if those existed. But yes, I do think that's it. Thanks.
	Not LP.	1 Relevance	16 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	Not LP. It appears from the tiny video that your lamp's petals don't overlap like the real one's, and the various pieces all look differently shaped, too... But again, that's just from looking at the video; a decent-sized photo or three would make identification much easier.
	@jesgord: sorry, I was...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	alexandersforum	General discussion
	@jesgord: sorry, I was... @jesgord: sorry, I was meaning to point out the correct name of the designer, but instead confused things further... @whc: I believe the very 1st edition String shelves had identical hardware, but very soon Strinning updated his design by placing the 'hangers' on each side of the wood shelf differently, making it possible to create a single uninterrupted shelf across several sections.
	Yes, it's different.	1 Relevance	16 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	Yes, it's different. This chair's legs are shaped differently (they taper), its glides are different (black plastic press-on vs. round metal screw-in), the central post is different (black vs. chrome), etc.
	Why knife blocks suck.	1 Relevance	16 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	... even if each is less than half-full. 3. Blocks with slots cut in various sizes only work with knives that fit in those slots. Have two wide knives? Too bad, there's only one wide slot. Have a cleaver? It has to go somewhere else. The distribution of knife widths in your collection is pre-ordained by the manufacturer of your block. 4. Angled blocks must have shorter slots in front than in back, so the distribution of knife LENGTHS in your collection has been decided for you, too. 5. Blocks with pre-cut slots only hold as many knives as there are slots. ...
	When I was five, my family...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	... I saw a Japanese round paper lampshade. I was fascinated. A year or two later, a new guy was hired at my dad's place of work and we were invited to his family's house for dinner. They'd just been living in Sweden for a few years and I vividly remember her showing us the rya rug hanging on their living room wall and explaining how it was a popular thing in Sweden. My mom had good taste and liked it, and I think that made me pay more attention to it. I remember it had a lot of orangey-red in it. Their two little boys were running around dressed in Scandin ...

	Not too much of a great length for me...it's what I do for a living. I know all about the "refinishing an item sometimes ruins the value", but the pieces I refinish are the ones in dire need. Most of the pieces I just disassemble if I can, clean them, give a nice rub down with Howard's Feed-n-Wax and tighten them back up, but if they are totally dilapidated I go right ahead and refinish it. The pieces I refinish are mostly for my consumption. I also do pieces for clients of mine. Like the magazine rack...the bottoms of the legs are worn, but all I plan on do ...

	Thanks for the input. I?m... Thanks for the input. I'm going to try in a few days. Last night when I did it and shamed myself to myself I also had a difficult time figuring out the actual pattern as the Wishbone chair is woven differently then other chairs with the same basic pattern. The pattern I came up with looks correct to me but I just can?t tell as the chairs I?m re-canning were re-caned incorrectly some years back so I have no frame of reference. I would draw out the pattern I used but then I would shame myself again.

	Business slowing up,Peter? At least you worded the same info a bit differently so its not totally redundant and boring.

	They should be stamped... They should be stamped 'Arkana' into the cast iron base underneath. The base is also attached differently to that of a Knoll - Should be via 4 screws.
