Chairs​​

Fiber Rush Chair,
​this chair structurally was in great shape. The fiber rush seat was in need of replacement and the finish was in tacked but not in bad shape. there was also some missing color. This Chair was in the customers family for many decades and meant a lot to them.
​I re Rushed the seat with new fiber rush and blended in missing color and also re-polished the entire seat. there was no need to stipe and refinish   

​​Chair's finish was bad and all joints where lose, Chair needed to be stripped ,refinished with a shellac french polish and recaned. The Chair cane pattern on this chair is a combo of two patterns. Buttons & Daisy

Bench,
this was a cool bench to work on. It had multiple coats of Blue then White paint that had to be stripped off, sanded ,stained and finished. I added a solid seat bottom and was able to keep the needle point fabric for seat. I added some dye to the carvings on the legs.

French caning
This Chair had some finish problems but was able to reflow the existing finish.
​French Caning is away of caning that has no through holes for a cleaner look on the back of the chair with not knots.Every piece of of cane has to be cut to lenght glued and pinned with a dowel before you can proceed with the next strip. The Pattern here is called spider web

Standard cane pattern
​Chair had finish problems and neede to be re caned. Finish was Cleaned and waxed

​​This chair Is a unique design it only had the press cane and spline done to it . I liked the patina so just added a lite polish to keep it together. I did not take pictures before I re caned the chair .It happens some times.

This is a nice chair even with just the seat insert. But the chairs with caning are a designed to have cane in place.it holds the whole chair and joints together.

Broken!
​chair arms where broken at the joint, all joints where re glued, arm was fixed and filled with burn-in sticks. Entire chair was cleaned and polished with shellac.

This is a very cool chair!
​it had been very damaged, painted at one time, broken joints and cane. I replaced the cane and fixed all broken joints. I then decided to get what ever paint was left on because I like the way it looked on this chair.

This chair was OK ,except for the dog chewed corner. not easy to fix but it can be done.it is a lot cheaper than finding that one chair or buying a whole new set.
