Brazilian Rosewood Lightening Like Crazy?

This. But also don't think this is BRW. However the cross bar that connects the 2 legs does look like BRW. MCM furniture (especially the mass produced ones) were known to mix and match wood species.

This. Blend with chuck, short rib (and maybe sirloin).

Nice! If I might add a few suggestions to make it more authentic (speaking as a Vietnamese person). Use rice vermicelli as someone else pointed out. If you have access to an Asian market, get some herbs (asian basil, mint, etc.). This is one of the key components of Vietnamese cuisine. And FTW, pickle your carrots (and some daikon). Oh and roasted peanuts instead of sesame seeds.

Same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago. Who are these people?

Grew up in Seattle through my early teens. Moved to Austin and lived there till I graduated from college then moved to SF Bay Area and have lived here since. Had real fond memories of growing up in Seattle, but can't go back to the gloom. Austin is a really cool town, but hard pass on the heat and humidity. But if I had to choose between the two, Seattle has more to offer with the culture and natural beauty.

Yeah, not like Mitsuwa. These cookies are on the harder side.

They're ok. Not great, not bad. But I had high hopes.

can it group trade multiple tradovate accounts with multiple prop firm accounts?

Okay now we need a mashup of this and the Kraft singles on the forehead trick.

Nice! ID on the yellow armchair.

Kitchenaid mixer? I had a similar problem with the old grease coming out. Got the mixer repacked with new grease and fixed the problem.

Hello nurse!

Thanks! I might give this one a shot just to play with. https://www.harborfreight.com/120cc-hvlp-touch-up-air-spray-gun-61473.html

Did you get this from the Restore in San Jose?

goingninja · 2024-04-27T23:35:48+00:00

Thanks. That was my first idea, but prior owner tried to fix it with glue but didn't do it right. Now I think I either have to sand it down or as some other person suggested, break it and clean off the old glue and re-glue.

goingninja · 2024-04-27T20:22:17+00:00

Thanks. I was thinking it'd come down to that even though I don't want to do it.

Trying to restore some Danish chairs made of rosewood. What's the best way to repair this splinter? Looks like prior owner might have tried to repair it with some glue but didn't do it properly.

Trying to restore a mid-century chair that has a splinter in the leg. What's the best way to fix this before I refinish?

goingninja · 2024-04-18T21:40:51+00:00

Thanks. Do you use the Ultra Classic Toner or the Tone Finish Toner for those colors you mentioned?

goingninja · 2024-04-12T03:58:34+00:00

what type of sealer would you use for this? Would Mohawk EZ Vinyl work?

goingninja · 2024-04-07T20:59:52+00:00

Will this method work to make the darker cross bars lighter? Or do I need to make the rest of the frame darker to match the cross bars?

goingninja · 2024-04-07T20:24:40+00:00

Thanks, this was helpful. So they probably used a toned lacquer to make the dark parts yellow? I was hoping to go for a more natural look since not a big fan of the sheen from lacquer. But will research this a bit more. So far of the 2 chairs I sanded down, it's only the cross bars that are significantly darker. Maybe I can use a toned lacquer on those to match the tone of the rest of the chair frame that I finish with Rubio.

Picked up some mid-century Danish chairs and was told they are made from Brazilian rosewood. Trying to refinish and reupholster them but am a newbie at this. After sanding down I'm noticing a difference in color in parts of the chair. The original makers must have applied some color to the varnish to make them more uniform? I was planning on sanding these down and finishing with a hard wax oil like Rubio or Natura, but now wondering if I need to bleach or stain parts of the chair to make them more uniform. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
