Right now, I am convinced that what Mr. Epstein w=nts is the Interior that was built in 18-19 c and remained through all agin= process. I know now, that what I did till now, is complete miss. When I wo=ked with Mr. Ingrao, a leading decorator in NY, he would call me to finish t=e Interior like this. You have to know some history of Interiors and how thy aged over time. None of this I can find in the Library, and I a= sorry, I did not know to the end what Mr. Epstein wanted from me until now= The way he want to finish this Library, can not be finished ini=ially with wax. Wax could be the last coat over the finish that would close=y imitated 18 c Interior. Firstly, the oxidation ( in 18 c wood y=u have natural oxidation ) which can be easily imitated. Secondly= the newer wood. The wood in 18 c was quarter-sown wood, you need to come c=ose to this. Thirdly, natural use of the wood, the dents, slight s=ratches, discoloration - done in moderation. The present method w= were using will not imitate the aged wood the way Mr. Epstein wants. The way I see this work, is the present finish be removed, not everywh=re, because there are some good looking sections and you need to start anew=with the final effect in mind. I am capable of doing this work b=nd if the need for the work like this, would arise , I could be called to t=e project. I am sorry that through misunderstanding, I was a disa=pointment to Mr. Epstein. Brandon </=iv> EFTA_R1_01628902 EFTA02501401
