painted arm chair restoration by Steve06 (created on )Gallery | Comments

I posted about this chair I bought a couple months ago here:

Well, it is finally done. If anyone is interested I can provide more details on the restoration. The finish is three coats of shellac and a good coat of black wax. The "pegs" are just caps to fill the holes left by the huge screws someone countersunk into the legs. The seat is leather that my wife and I figured out how to sew ourselves! It goes well with the footstool I have also posted about. I think the pictures tell the basic story.
