New PTP! Classes Begin on Janu

New Class Beginning in December

Convertible High Chair/Table

Donna requested that I restore this convertible high chair/table.  It was in pretty bad shape, structurally, most likely due to excessive exposure to moisture and temperature changes.  The seat was falling apart, all the joints were loose, the base/table plate was wrinkled, loose and decayed with the plywood laminations separated from each other.  Other problems included mismatched bolts and screws, a missing spindle and tray top hardware.  It was an enjoyable project and the customers were pleased with the results.  The baby was born during the restoration and the chair awaits his growth to the right size!

Rose High Back Rocker

A woodworker friend of my had this old mahogany rose rocker that a client had given to him quite some time ago sitting around at his house. He said he didn't have the time or engery to fix it and offered it to me. I took it home and it sat around my house for over a year with broken legs and no cane in the seat. I finally decided to get the seat caned after I had fixed the legs. I accidently bumped into a fella that knew a lady that did caning and I decided to give her a shot at it. She did a beautiful job and now we have returned this old gem back to usefulness. What a joy!
