      I, personally, have no money. But when i visit antique show rooms on the east and west coast of the united states, i see chairs like this sell for near $1,000 US. In the middle of the country, much less. It all depends on where you are located and who s doing the sell, and how many people are taking a cut along the way. Its a difficult problem for the crafts person.

    You mentioned that this was more of a rebuild than a restoration. I think that speaks volumes. You decided to take something that was destined for the burn pile and put it back into use for years to come. All the while enjoying the process! That was wonderful to see.

    “And i have some ideas”….the beginning of a beautiful collaboration, between a craftsman who made the chair, likely dead a long time, and Ahti, a craftsman ready to bring the vision back to life! I get my cup of coffee, set my tablet up on the garden table and prepare to enjoy.❤

  • @wendellmacscience3633

    Yeah! Another video from Ahti. This was really interesting. Your decision to replace the caning with wood veneer, the details about the laser printer, and making the distinction between restoration vs rebuilding were highlights for this audient, not to mention your usual excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail. Beautiful work once again!

      For a chair to be in a museum it needs to be completely original even if it has faults, but modification excludes most things from the museum standard, exceptions exist.
