Free color samples of wheat and champagne, email your name, street, city, state and zip. see what you are getting, seeing is believing ! ONE QUART OF AN EXCELLENT REPLICATION OF "CHAMPAGNE" COLOR. "CHAMPAGNE" IS PALER WITH MORE TAN AND HAS A SLIGHT HUE OF PINK. YOU CAN BUY "WHEAT" COLOR IN ANOTHER AUCTION. "WHEAT" IS A GOLDEN-TAN, SOMEWHAT BRIGHT. TONER CONTAINS (1.)STAIN/COLORING (2.)OPAQUE ADDITIVE AND (3.)OIL BASED POLYURETHANE; EVERY THING YOU NEED IN ONE PRODUCT. FOUR THIN COATS ARE APPLIED, WITH SHORT DRY TIME IN BETWEEN COATS. YOU HAVE CONTROL, AND CAN MAKE CORRECTIONS EASILY. SEE PICTURE #6 YOU CAN SEE THE COLOR INCREASING AS THE COATS ARE ADDED, AND YOU CAN SEE THE OPAQUE ADDITIVE HIDING MORE AND MORE OF THE RAW WOOD GRAIN. OPAQUENESS WAS PERFECTED BY HEYWOOD WAKEFIELD AND MY TONER IS THE BEST AVAILABLE. TONER IS EASY TO APPLIED BY WIPING IT ON WITH A COTTON PAD. WHEN APPLIED ON CLEANED, SANDED BIRCH WOOD, IT WILL GIVE YOU THE SAME OPAQUE, MILKY-CLOUDY, FINISH AS A NEW PIECE OF H-W FURNITURE HAD IN THE 1940's AND 1950'S. THE H-W COMPANY ALWAYS USED TONER AND THE ONLY WAY TO REPLICATE THE OLD FINISH IS TO USE TONER. FOUR THIN COATS OF MY TONER WILL GIVE YOU OPAQUE AS IT SHOULD BE, WITH JUST A HINT OF THE BIRCH WOOD GRAIN SHOWING THROUGH. ONE QUART SHOULD DO THREE SMALL PIECES OF FURNITURE, LIKE NIGHT STANDS, COFFEE TABLE, ETC. ; OR TWO DRESSERS, VANITIES, ETC.; OR ONE TABLE, TWO LEAVES AND UP TO FOUR CHAIRS; OR A TABLE NO LEAVES AND SIX CHAIRS. YOU WILL RECEIVE ONE QUART FROM BATCH RECENTLY MIXED, 100% READY TO USE. AFTER THE SECOND COAT, THE COLOR IS PRETTY MUCH FIXED AND IF YOU WANT THE "CALIFORNIA LOOK" OR "SEMI-TRANSPARENT", WHERE MORE OF THE BIRCH GRAIN STILL SHOWS, THEN YOU CAN STOP AT THAT POINT AND HAVE GOOD COLOR AND MOST OF THE GRAIN SHOWING, YOUR FURNITURE, YOUR CHOICE. MY TONER CAN BE USED AS A TOUCH-UP TO YOUR EXISTING OLD FINISH OR YOU CAN ADJUSTED THE COLOR/SHADE TO MATCH YOUR EXISTING FINISH. DO YOUR HOMEWORK: VISIT MID-CENTURY DEALERS IN YOUR AREA, SEARCH THE WEB(I recommend "refinishwizard"), AND QUESTION EBAY SELLERS OF FURNITURE. EMAIL ME ON ANY QUESTION CONCERNING REPAIRING. REMOVING WATERMARKS AND MILDEW, AND REFINISHING. DO I JUST SAND AND START APPLYING TONER? DO I HAVE TO CHEMICALLY STRIP? YES, SOMETIMES, LIKE WHEN YOUR FURNITURE IS DAMAGED AND REPAIRS HAVE TO BE MADE, WHEN YOU ARE FOLLOWING A BLOCHED STAIN OR PAINT JOB, WHEN CHANGING FROM A DARK H-W COLORS LIKE SABLE TO EITHER WHEAT OR CHAMPAGNE. YES STRIP IT. I RECOMMEND THESE TWO BOOKS:"HEYWOOD-WAKEFIELD MODERN FURNITURE" BY ROULAND, WITH REPRODUCTIONS OF SCADS OF SALES PAMPHLETS (ALL PICTURES ARE BLACK & WHITE PHOTOS), AND IS THE COLLECTOR'S STANDARD IDENTIFICATION SOURCE, LISTING ALMOST ALL PIECES EVER PRODUCED. THE SECOND BOOK, IS MORE RECENT BOOK, "HEYWOOD-WAKEFIELD“ BY HARRIS GERTZ, SHOWS THE MOST POPULAR PIECES OF H-W AND THE COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS ARE EXCELLENT, INCREDIBLY SHARP AND TRUE COLORS. MY TONER IS ALL YOU NEED TO MAKE YOU TIRED, DULL, SCUZZY FURNITURE AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT WAS WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY PRODUCED. ALL INGREDIENTS ARE TOP OF THE LINE INCLUDING COMMERCIAL GRADE OIL BASED POLYURETHAN, OPAQUE ADDITIVE, AND THREE RAW PIGMENTS, ARTIST GRADE, STRAIGHT FROM THE TUBE. PICTURE #2 IS A BIRCH BENT PLYWOOD DESK TOP THAT I REFINISHED IN WHEAT. PICTURES #3 NESTING TABLES THAT A CALIFORNIA CUSTOMER REFINISHED WITH MY CHAMPAGNE TONER, PICTURE #4 IS ANOTHER CALIFORNIA CUSTOMER USING WHEAT ON HIS DINING ROOM SET.PICTURE #6 DEMONSTRATE THE CUMULATIVE CHANGE OF ADDITIONAL LAYERS. THIS AUCTION INCLUDES COMPLETE APPLICATION INSTRUCTION, A REFINISHING SUGGESTIONS LIST, AND WHEAT AND CHAMPAGNE SAMPLES-SWATCHES OF ACTUAL TONE APPLIED TO REAL BIRCH WOOD(see picture #5). PLUS YOU CAN EMAIL OR PHONE ME IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR NEED HELP. read more
