[Illustration: Dresser in Quarter-Sawed Oak] The exact size of the mirror is 18 by 36 in. and the frame should be rabbeted to correspond. [Illustration: Detail of the Dresser] For a finish, a coat of paste filler colored so as to give a rich golden brown should be applied first. Allow this to harden, after rubbing and polishing it in the usual manner, then apply a thin coat of shellac. Sand this lightly when hard, and over this apply a coat of orange shellac. Over the shellac put several coats of some good rubbing wax and polish each coat well. If a striking contrast is wanted for the medullary rays of the quartering, apply a golden-oak stain first.
