Well, the repair continues. I asked a friend of mine to do the scrollwork bottom section, as he is a lot better at that sort of detail work. It took him some time to copy, based on the badly damaged pieces we had available, but I think he did an excellent job. I also did all the repairs on the table sides and legs, including adding some wood repair pieces to the existing legs. From there, I milled/worked it down so the legs matched.
So I’ve got all the pieces fixed up and assembled and ready to do the re-assembly.
- Glue up legs and skirt together
- Layout and mark out the attachment points for the scrollwork pieces
- Glue & screw the scrollwork pieces to the lower part of the legs
- Use dowels to cover the screws for the assembly
- Sand/Clean up
- Prime/paint to something close to the original.
Right now, the legs are glued and I’m going to let them set for a day or two. Not going to be able to get the time for the next step till tomorrow night, but its on the way.
