Trying my hand at glass restoration. This is a piece of glass printed on the reverse with an old map of London. It’s been used as a coffee table and was badly smashed . I’m not finished yet but it’s looking so much better.

This Lamino Swedish chair has broken along the laminations. It was reglue and hand made Oak dowels were fitted through the frame to keep it together as the chair had quite a bit of flex in it. My customers and their new baby were very pleased with the results. #lamino #chairrestoration #oak
