I’ve been working on and off this summer room for quite a while. Last few days I’ve been making (yes no engineered oak flooring here!) oak floor boards of random widths and routing in the tongue and groove. Fitting them as a floating floor. And made a start on a waney edge window sill. Needs final fitting levelling and then glueing in place. Nice to do a properly bespoke job!

This weeks little job was to do something with these old boules.

The real challenge - how to do it without the apprentices practising their escape artistry!

Think it turned out ok - and bonus I still have the same number of dogs as I started with!

Repair job on this captains chair.

Literally unusable - the back and spindles were falling apart and split, decades of grime in the spindle holes and what looked like several very dodgy repairs using nails, screws, tape!, and car filler!

Several spindles were split.

The seat (elm if you wanted to know) is warped through decades of use and abuse.

So….

Took it apart to properly asses the damage.
Removed the old ‘repairs’.
Cleaned off the grime.
Repaired spindles and seat holes that had blown out by splicing in like for like wood species.
Had to make adjustments to spindle sizing to allow for warp in seat.
Dry fit to ensure fit, then a very nervous glue up involving epoxy for strength.
Clean up joints and squeeze out of glue.
Touch up newly spliced in wood to colour match and age.
Wax and polish.

A lot of work - but chair now looks beautiful and you can sit in it again!
