| Although this chair is not particularly arts and crafts I do think it has some influence given the spindles...and we could probably all use some positive news anyway given all the depressing things that have happened to people trying to deal with SWF. I bought this chair for $35 from a guy with a pole barn full of accumulated project furniture. It was a total stripdown including using rust remover on the mechanism. With the work around the spindles and all it took about four months to complete including the holidays when I didn't work on it much. The wheels are antiqued brass reproductions. The finish is two coats of brush on Deft lacquer finish and a coat of black wax. I just used standard 10W30 motor oil on the mechanism. That will probably cause it to pick up more dust over time but it will also stop the rust. Again, I would love to see other peoples before and after project photos. |
