You’ll both no doubt recall an earlier post in which I showed an heirloom chair<\/a> — one of six — that had been rendered useless (at least as a chair) by the depredations of a teething puppy. Here it is, as a reminder. The chair, that is. I’m happy to say that the same chair has been restored, and can now be used once again as a chair.<\/p>\n

The restorer was my friend C. F. of Cromer, who chisels away in his garage<\/del> shed<\/del> man cave<\/del> workshop under the name Verdant Woodcraft<\/a>, in much the same way that Winnie-the-Pooh lived under the name of Sanders.<\/p>\n

He (that’s Mr C. F., not Winnie-the-Pooh) now has another one of the six chairs to restore, happily not as badly damaged as the one above. He was able to restore the chair using bits of a large slab of mahogany I bought from a reclamation yard once, with a view to making something or other, but I never did, so I gave it to C. F. instead. I’m sure you’ll agree that he’s made far better use of it than I ever could.<\/p>\n

If you look at the Verdant Woodcraft facebook page<\/a> you’ll see that Mr C. F. has a way with wood. He takes commissions, you know.<\/p>\n

And the puppy seems to have grown out of chewing the furniture.<\/p>\n
