  • Care and Preservation of Furniture and Wooden Objects by Louise Beck, Conservator, the Henry Ford
    The Care and Preservation of Furniture and Wooden Objects by Louise Beck, Conservator, The Henry Ford. Introduction Antique furniture and wooden objects can be maintained for years of use and enjoyment provided that some basic care and attention is given to their preservation. The conservation staff at The Henry Ford have compiled the information in this fact sheet to help individuals care for their objects and collections. The first step in the care of collections is to understand and minimize or eliminate conditions that can cause damage. The second step is to follow basic guidelines for care, handling and cleaning. Types of Damage For most antique furniture owners, the desire to both utilize their collections and at the same time preserve them presents a formidable challenge. These two objectives are often at odds with each other. Improper handling/usage/display, environment, cleaning, and repair are the most common causes of damage to furniture and wooden objects. The primary cause of damage to furniture is careless handling and use, resulting in damage to surfaces or structural damage to the object. Inappropriate environment, both in terms of light and relative humidity, can lead to damage. Excessive light can accelerate the aging and degradation of finishes resulting in a cracked, brittle or "alligatored" appearance; it can also cause fading or softening of the finish. Since wood is a porous material it readily absorbs water when humidity levels are high. This absorption of moisture causes wood to swell. Conversely, wood shrinks in a dry environment. The shrinkage of wood in dry environments leads to the formation of structural cracks, lifting veneer and inlays, gaps in joints and the embrittlement of adhesives.

This work was focussed on the recognition of the emission of volatile compounds resulting from the combustion of engineered wood products waste. This kind of waste is broadly used for heating purposes in an unauthorised way, giving rise to unorganised emissions. The recognition of such events is very difficult due to the complexity of the produced gas mixture. We proposed to apply differential ion mobility spectrometry (DMS). This is a promising technique in terms of complex gas mixtures measurements. The recognition was based on the measurements of ambient air in the vicinity of the emission source and classification. The ensemble of classification trees was chosen as the classier. The obtained results showed that volatile compounds resulting from the combustion of wood based boards waste produced the distinctive DMS spectra, which could be used as the basis for the effective recognition. We achieved almost 100 % successful recognition of: 1) ambient air which contained volatile compounds resulting from OSB board waste combustion, 2) ambient air which contained volatile compounds resulting from MDF board waste combustion, and 3) ambient air, which was did not contain volatile compounds of this kind. The presented results have a considerable practical value. The DMS spectrometer was successfully applied to recognize wood-based boards waste combustion in field conditions.

    SECTION 2: PReseRVAtion OF HistoRic ResoURces PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK. HISTORIC RESOURCE DESIGN GUIDELINES CHAPTER 2.1: WINDOWS CITY OF SANTA BARBARA CHApteR 2.1: WinDOWS INTRODUCTION Windows are one of the most visible, yet commonly under-appreci- ated components of older and historic homes and historic resources. Many historic structures in Santa Barbara have original wood win- dows that have lasted over a century. They may have intricate details that give depth, light, and shadow to a building’s façade. Original windows reflect the design intent for the building, including the period, regional style, and building techniques. In fact, many wood windows are considered hand-crafted pieces of art that are examples of exceptional craftsmanship and design. Windows give scale to a building and provide visual interest to the composition of individual façades, while distinct designs help de- fine many historic building styles. These openings define character through their material, profile, shape, size, configuration, and ar- rangement on the façade. These Guidelines will help property own- ers consider all the factors and options when repairing or replacing original windows.
