PROCESS OF PAINTING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 315,324, dated April 7, 1885.

Application filed June 19, 1884. (No model.)

Supposing that in an imitation of an inlaid panel, of which Fig. l-is a portion, the white portion has to represent a surface of holly or other white wood, the parts shaded with vertical lines to represent a slightly:

darker wood-oak for instance-the parts;

shaded with still darker horizontal lines to imitate a mahogany surface, and the groundsurface to imitate black-walnut or rose-wood, 25 I make the desired imitation in the following manner. A panel of light wood of appropriate size is first selected, and an outline of the design drawn or otherwise made thereon, after which I coat the portion of the design which is to represent the lightest wood with dammar varnish, and when this is dry I apply to the entire surface of the panel an oak stain; when it will have the appearance shown in Fig. 2, the ground-work being imitation oak, and the varnish preventing the encroachment of the stain on the portion of the design which has to be white.

Those parts of the design in which an oak surface has to appear in the finished panel are now coated with dammar varnish,and when this is dry a mahogany stain is applied to the panel, and the result will be a ground-work of a mahogany tint, with the portions of the pattern to be imitation of holly and those 4 in imitation of oak protected by the varnish. (See Fig. 3.) The next step is to coat with the varnish those parts of the design in which a mahogany surface only has to appear, and when this is dry a black-walnut stain is applied to the entire surface of the panel. All

that is necessary now is to remove the varnish from the surface f the panel, and this may be readily done b washingwith turpentine, and the result will be the panel, Fig. 1, representing a dark walnut surface inlaid partly 5 5 with mahogany, partly with oak, and mainly with holly.

An imitation inlaid surface representing but two kinds of wood may be made by simply coating a design with varnish on one kind of 6a wood,then staining the latter to imitate another kind of wood, and afterward removing the varnish; or a panel representing inlaid work of any desired number of different woods can be made in the manner described. 6 5

Woodstains of different tints and suitable for the carrying out of my invention are purchasable in the market.

Hitherto I have referred to dammar varnish as a material for coating those portions of a 70, i

croachment of the stains and which can be removed without any detrimental effect on these stains may be used.

I claim as my invention- 1. The mode herein desoribedof imitating inlaid wood-work, the said mode consisting in,

first, coating those portions of a surface ofwood which have to represent inlaid work with a material impervious to wood-stains andremovable by a solvent 5 second, applying to the surface of the wood a stain of any desired tint;

and, third, coating the surface with a solvent which does not affect the permanency of the stain, but removes the said coating, and thereby exposes the surface of the wood whenever the said coating is applied, all substantially as set forth. 2. The mode herein described of imitating inlaid wood-work, the said mode consisting in, first, coating those portions of a surface of wood which have to represent inlaid work of one kind of wood with a material impervious to wood-stainsand removable by a solvent; second, applying to the surface of the wood a stain of any desired tint; third, coating those portions of the stained surface which have to I60 represent another kind of inlaid wood with the imitations of different inlaid woodsex- [O the said removable material; fourth, impartposed, all substantially as set forth.

ing to the surface of the wood a stain differ- In testimony whereofI have signed myname ing in tint from that first applied, and continto this specification in the presence of two subuing these operations as many times as the scribing witnesses.

different imitations of different kinds of inlaid FRED. G. PAINTER. wood may demand, and, finally, applying the WVitnesses: solvents by which the several coatings of ma- JOHN M. CLAYTON,
