20 years ago I made a small multi wood & multi grain direction table. I made it in Ohio in very humid air. Then we moved to Colorado, land of dry aid. It came apart because of the shrinkage . I even found some construction biscuits that came apart. I’ve rebuilt it and it has taken most of 2 days. Now I wonder how long it will last here. It will probably outlast me

From the album: Bottle Stopper Heads
This is an updated view of an earlier picture. It's where I was rebuilding the wood. That whole dark area was rebuilt with the sawdust and CA glue that was shown as drying in the previous picture I'm pretty happy with it. It doesn't make it look like glass, but then doesn't make it look sloppy either. -
A friend of ours has this beautifully fun, classic chair that she is not sure where it came from except that her brother has had it for over 40 years I believe. The lines are completely cool, the arms if you look at the end or fronts of the arms almost have the old colonial arm chair look with the slenderness and the round tips. Since it was probably built in the late 50's or early 60's, during the height of the Danish Modern period, I am surmising that it is just that. The problem with the chair are the joints are dry and loose. My mission is to pull the chair apart at the joints, and re-glue them and tighten the chair up considerably. Afterwards we'll steel wool it to clean it up then oil it to bring it back. Nothing I do will disturb that fantastic patina it has built up over time, so rich and deep, just gorgeous. The back rest is on a swivel of sorts, I have not sat in it yet, but I bet that adjustable back rest is very comfortable. A really cool idea. Photo above, you can see some of the blemish's that are in the chair, most of these appear to be the chair bumping into a painted surface such as a wall etc. Those will rub out easily. Photo above, I just love that graceful arm. I'll keep the progress pics coming, this will be fun!
