I found this chair on its death bed. There was just something about it that told me to take it in and nurse it back to health. Some new long leaf heart pine parts and a good sanding down and repainting of the metal made her good as new. She is amazingly comfortable too.

I’d say you did a great job of the resurrection. Love that long leaf pine. As soon as the wind quits blowing here I can finish my king sized bed which has insert panels of LLP.

Great job. Make it when you need to make, restore it if its possible, do not throw it if can be recycled.

Incredible restoration , or should I say rebuild ? That pine and color is beautiful with the black ironwork : )

I’m impressed that you were able to restore the wood from thin air, amazing! :) I love the mix of color, beautiful chair.
Have your say...
