"Fifty years ago a knowledge of staining was more widely diffused than it is today. Then every experienced cabinet-maker had a good working knowledge of the art, and was conversant with its methods. But that day has passed. We are now living in an age of specialisation in which the worker is master of a section of a craft, and his work is limited to only a few operations. So it has come about that those who now know anything of the art of staining are comparatively few, and the polisher belongs to a small and privileged class."
