Project Information
Finnaly I had time to take care of my grandfather's bench.
This bench has been siting in my porch for about 20 years, a leg was eaten by wood worms and some cracks were starting to apear.
I made a buterfly joint on the cracks and use some joinery to attach a new leg of a harder wood. On the end I give it 3 coats of mahogany vanish to give that almost orange color, I think it turned out mint and its gonna last for at least another 20 years
Short version video of the restoration
