The Christianson Telephone Collection

I suppose one could say that I fell into antique telephone collecting by accident. I was working for Redwoods Telephone Company, a very small independent telephone company in Cave Junction, Oregon. My title was "storekeeper." http://www.museumphones.com/about.html

Oil Rubbing Furniture

When all the necessary patching and repairing have been done to a piece of antique furniture and the old finish has been removed, one of the best ways to refinish it is by rubbing it with oil and polishing it with wax. You may wonder why the removal of the old finish should be delayed until after the patching has been done. That is because it is not the best practice to wash off surplus glue from newly made joints. If the gluing is done before the old finish is removed, the surplus glue comes off with the old finish. If the finish were removed first, the surplus glue would have to be scraped off, and the scraping would mar the surfaces. Genuine boiled linseed oil is the best agent for giving a deep, lustrous appearance to old wood.
