    I'd have inserted a steel insert in the other side as well, looks more like a design choice then a fix. You always end up making something that looks like it can't be saved into a masterpiece!!

    • @Restomaniac

      Actually, you're right, I couldn't put metal on the back for purely aesthetic reasons. Thank you very much 😊🤗

    Greetings from Florida, US! Excellent recovery of this Mid-Century Classic style chair! Clever reinforcement of the splitting curve area. The teak oil is a perfect finish, The upholstery seems to have preserved most of the seat and back the veneer. Your cat seems to approve, also! We also have a black and white Tuxedo cat! Thanks for sharing with us.

    • @Restomaniac

    It is very nice, I love the grain in the wood even if it is just plywood. The teak oil gives it a beautiful look. I think your kitten has claimed the chair for his own!

    Your reinforcement of the delaminated curves was clever, and I like the clear wood finish and beeswax which you used. The old 1950s' fabric was rather blah, so your choice to show the chaIr's natural wooden finish is way better.

    Fantastic job. Just one question, would it have been wise to also insert a piece of metal in the other side of the chair? Or is it unnecessary as that side hadn't split? The chair looks so much better now and of course beautifully modelled at the end by your gorgeous supurrvisor! Loved how the kitty was making air muffins while watching you at work.

    • @Restomaniac
      @Restomaniac  Před 11 měsíci +3

    • @bluecurlygirl
      @bluecurlygirl Před 11 měsíci +1

      @@Restomaniac Oh, what I meant was the the identical part on the other side of the chair - the inside of the piece that hadn't split to prevent it from splitting in the future maybe? I can't do ANYTHING without both my supurrvisors - not even going to the loo!! But I love them still.
