Refinishing classes set A furniture refinishing demon stration is being sponsored by the Extension Home Economists in Newberry County. It will be held Tuesday from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. at the National Guard Armory and from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. at Burns and Summer in their new annex on Martin St. conducted by Jim McNinch of a nationally known refinishing company. There is no charge and any one interested is invited to at tend. They should, however, call the office of the home econo mist (276-1091) to register. In dividuals may bring a small piece of their own furniture (example drawer) and McNinch will discuss how to restore it. Products used will be available for purchase at a local store. McNinch will show a refinish er that melts down the old fi nish, on fine pieces of furni ture right to the wood in one easy step. This does not take out the wood filler from the grain of the wood, according fo home economists. Neither does it remove the color age has put into the wood, as this color is what makes a piece of wood beautiful and valuable. In addition to the refinish ing process, McNinch will de monstrate water ring removal, brass cleaning, wax removal, dent and scratch filling and other hints on the care of fur niture.
