"The alert driftwoodsman" sayr
uninn, Knows the instant he sees
a grotesque piece of wood what
might develop out of it, although
occasionally it may be necessary
to wait until the return home to
exercise the imagination."
Finishing driftwood may be lots
of fun, says Griffith. He gets his
soggy, clammyT cold wood home
and dries k against his fireplace
screen. He turns each log to dry
uniformly, sort of like toasting
frankfurters, although he la care
ful not to scorch the wood. Dry
ing shrinks it somewhat, he says.
wood. He suggests too, for those
who enjoy bleached driftwood that
liquid shoe white will do the trick
ia jiffy time, working It in with
stiff bristled brush, allowing it to
dry and finishing it off with
light was polish.
Griffith finishes dried forms with
sandpaper, ' using a wood file en
unsightly knob. He uses various
grades of steei wool to bring the
piece to a smooth satin finish.
BINDING WINDOWS
Windows and drawer that do not
slide easily may simply be in need
of a little lubrication. Dry soap
rubbed in the tracks will usually
do the trick. Be sure to sponge off
all dust or dirt first
