Restoring wood furniture can be time-consuming and challenging, especially ornate carvings or intricately shaped features like Barley twist legs on a table. Mistakes made to ornate work can mean damage to the piece or compromising its design and value. According to Mitchell Kohanek with The National Institute of Wood Finishing, accurate restoration involves the understanding of organic chemistry and a mastery of wood-working and wood-finishing skills. It takes Kohanek nine months to prepare someone for a profession in the finishing of wood. He likens the work done by an amateur versus professional to an essay written by a high school student verses English graduate student.

Once the plaster bond dries (give it an hour or so), you're ready to plaster the wall. Start by mixing finish lime in a 5-gallon bucket, using a 1/2" drill with mixing blade [A]. Add your pigment now, too, but don't be fooled by appearances—the putty will be much darker than the finished plaster on the wall, so be generous with pigment (but keep it below 5 percent of volume). The putty consistency should be akin to brick batter that can be held on a trowel sideways. This putty gets better with age—in fact, old Italian fresco artists insisted on five years' storage before use—and will store forever in a covered plastic bucket.
