Hans Wegner Wishbone chairs: oak with soap finish
Recently I restored a set of eight of these beautiful oak wishbone chairs. I thought the owner said they had a wax finish but I was happy to discover that it was just soap. The frames looked pretty good but … Continue reading
Erik Buch chairs in charcoal wool
I just finished this set of six Erik Buch dining chairs in one of my favorite fabrics, Maharam/Kvadrat’s Hallingdal in the 180 colorway, a very dark charcoal gray. All the photos here are deliberately overexposed a bit so that the … Continue reading

Wegner CH25 woven chair
This Wegner CH25 chair had the usual broken strands that come with age and use. It also arrived in pieces but a competent repairman took care of those issues, leaving me free to weave. And weave. And weave…! The … Continue reading
Hans Olsen cane back settee
The binder cane on the back on this Hans Olsen settee was old and brittle with a lot of broken strands. The settee needed cushions, too. I rewove the back with new rattan, which will eventually darken in color. … Continue reading
Danish Modern teak dining chairs
This is one of a set of six Danish Modern style teak chairs that I got from someone who I think got them at a yard sale. After the MCR makeover! This is not the original upholstery. They … Continue reading
