Having your leaves, &c., cut out and dried, pour some of the contents of
this bottle into a saucer, and apply it copiously with a camel’s hair
brush, all over the leaves, back and front, particularly the edges; bend
them while damp as you wish them to appear upon the finished work, then
dry them rather quickly at a moderate distance from the fire, or in a
current of air; when dry they are ready for use.
The leaves, &c., can be attached to any form of work, and it is
completed. When the entire work is complete, it can be varnished at
pleasure, as follows:--Procure a bottle of REVELL’S OAK SPIRIT STAIN,
and give the entire work an even coat of it; it dries in a few minutes,
and has the appearance of polished oak.
