Always great to have happy customers
Getting there slowly π’ Still a long way to go π’π’ Loving the rich nurtured honey coloured oak thatβs beginning to emerge from under 60 years of grime π The drawers are sitting on the knackered top π³ Quite some challenge πͺ More soon π
gossamer oak shavings coming off my new project π
Sunday π³π€ This time Mediterranean as befits the current UK weather π
Sunday π³π€ This time a sprawling oak π
All lining up for beauty treatment. Gordon Russell Hundevad and GPlan Fresco in pieces π Lots to keep me busy over the bank holiday weekend π
Sunday π³π€ Gotta love those London parks π This time Haggerston but not sure what the tree is other than majestic and open-armed π€
A shoutout to the fabulous team
BIG Thanks for such an informative and enthusiastic tour of your new shop and workshop. What a pleasure meeting you all. I got so excited chatting that I forgot to take more pictures. Folks go and check them out. Fab furniture and bespoke commissions and all local on the Hackney Road. Whatβs not to love πππ
Before/After π Turned out well. Deep stains on Hundevad table worked on with oxalic acid after removing shellac finish. Refinished with Liberon teak oil. Ready to make an appearance in my Etsy shop. π Link to my Etsy shop in bio βοΈ
Itβs Sunday! Time for a tree π³ π€ Freshly pollarded London plane and all ready for summer π
πday = π³π€ This time silky π bark. Very easy to π€
Vertiginous read π’π
Exactly! Love it when furniture comes with clear care instructions. Heed them, owners!
Lots of little ones at Calke Abbeyπ So cute π If you have πͺπͺπͺ that could do with some help and are local to DM for a chat and quote. Check out my Etsy shop for Edwardian childβs chair and other great stuff πLink to my shop in bioβοΈ
Long overdue tree π³ π€ Very long arms needed for this majestic oak. Great use of a ratchet strap. Hopefully good for a few more centuriesπ
Great Saturday haul πEarly Gomme Librenza and Fresco tables and an Irish 1970s trio of tables by OβDonnellπ All in my Etsy shop soon π Take a π at the tables and stuff in my shop NOW πLink in bioβοΈ
Leaves unfurling π Simply amazing and what spring is all about π Enjoy the moment and take time to look closely πThis is going to be a majestic π π°
Calling all upholsterers out there. Iβve taken off 1970s diy brown corduroy and found this squashed flat wool concoction beneath. Am really curious to know whether E Gomme Brandon πͺπͺoriginally had this padding or whether this is part of the later recovering job. Thanks for any info you might be able to offer. Please share your knowledge of original 1950s seat stuffing here. π
When a local delivery takes you onto a platform youβve never been on before. Although itβs local. London just rocks! Hand delivered little Hundevad off to north London π More in my Etsy shop πLink in bioβοΈ
HELP fellow vintage foragers. Does anyone know what company had this spinage and egg label and a company name that begins EM? And seems to have been LISTED? I found this glued to the bottom of a lovely oak bowl. Any info much appreciated. Thanks!
Light refresh of my favourite chairs by E Gomme of GPlan fame π Technically theyβre just in underwear but I like the contrast of oatmeal coloured Hessian and the chairβs slightly mottled oak. For now these will be dining with me. Lots of gorgeous vintage furniture in my Etsy shop πLink in bioβοΈ
Cosmetic surgery with a scalpel π Removing wood filler from a bad veneer repair job thatβs the result of an inexplicable shortage of appropriate adhesive. Itβll be fiddly and take a while π But well worth it getting another little Hundevad table looking great again π
Surprise find getting repaired shed ready for some restoration woodworking action π
European landmarks on a choc biscuit. Gotta love it π
