Wow that is some impressive carving skills 😮🤩 Both chairs wood sections looked lovely once finished. I imagine the cane or upholstery will be completed by a specialist 😊 Altogether a beautifully done restoration and the customer seemed so pleased with the first result he brought you the second to show off your skills even more 😊

Such a great transformation 👏👏

[@designabeej]

Awesome result, such attention to detail 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@siobhanjones6313]

Beautiful chairs, and beautifully restored! Would it be possible to see the chairs you restore, after the new upholstery has been completed?

[@TheRestorationGuyArie]

Yes, but it takes quite some time before the upholstery is done by a specialist upholsterer. I jumped the gun.

[@PeanutsDadForever]

Great job.

[@justjulee9135]

Awesome job! I love how you carved that claw foot! Can I ask where you are located?

[@TheRestorationGuyArie]

Thanks for hour kind comments. I am located at Weesp, the Netherlands.

@TheRestorationGuyArie ahhh, a bit far away from me lol. I love your work!

He's sanding by hand! That should mitigate some of your concerns.

[@careyclouser1022]

Beautiful! I have a few questions. Why didn't you sand and seal the caning? Or at least moisturize it with oil or wax? Doesn't the caning need periodic maintenance too?

[@TheRestorationGuyArie]

Sanding cane would be risky, i feel. I waxed de caning but didn’t show with step in the video, my bad.

[@careyclouser1022]

@@TheRestorationGuyArie thank you for the clarification!

👍👍👍

[@venetianstudios5171]

What about the cane? Why didn't you remove the upholstery from the second chair before sanding and refinishing the frame? That should have been your first step. The fabric is torn and will need to be replaced and now your new finish will likely get damaged in the process.

[@TheRestorationGuyArie]

The cane is original and in great condition, there is no need to replace it. About removing the upholstery: you might be right, luckely i have a excellent professional upholsterer who, in my experience, won’t damage the finish when upholstering. Thanks fir your comments.
