25.01.2022 Cleaning, coloring and conditioning these leather b&b Italia dining chairs today. Amazingly comfortable as well @ Heidelberg West, Victoria

25.01.2022 One of my personal favorites. The Danish deluxe fondue table, so versatile. Ready for service again. @ Greensborough, Victoria

25.01.2022 Some hand carved cabinet pulls for this Macintosh sideboard. The original pulls were broken during transport and were unusable. I have a small amount of salvaged vintage Teak that is always perfect for matching on period pieces like this. Time for a cuppa in the sun @ Diamond Creek, Victoria, Australia

25.01.2022 Nice to be working from my home workshop especially on days like today. Garden is green and the streets are empty and quiet. Hope everyone is well in these strange times @ plenty river trail

25.01.2022 Essential ingredients

24.01.2022 Amazing Jakob Rudowski dining chairs. I have made a new Blackwood spindle to replace the missing one in the backrest. The detail on these sculptural chairs is so beautiful, such a pleasure to work on. @ Greensborough, Victoria

24.01.2022 No job too small! I had fun making these 50mm long coffee table embellishments. Original is the one in the front. @ Greensborough, Victoria

24.01.2022 Simple pleasures @ Montmorency, Victoria, Australia

23.01.2022 Saying goodbye to this chap today. After a dinner party mishap this poor Moller had the backrest completely break off. After some reinforcement and some fresh polish it is ready to head back to the party

21.01.2022 Just finished. Vintage Swedish television to bathroom vanity conversion. This piece arrived to me fully intact with TV still installed. So with some gentle deconstruction the rebuild ensued. The object was to integrate the new components to look as original as possible. The sink and waste is still to be installed @ Greensborough, Victoria

21.01.2022 Lovely little early Australian dining chair. I have restored a few of the chairs with either an Emu or Kangaroo carved in the to rail but never a Lyrebird. This poor thing was coated in several layers of paint. To keep the patina that was hiding beneath we stripped and gently scrubbed away the layers of paint. Certainly delighted that the carving was basically perfectly preserved as well as the pressed timber crocodile skin seat pan. Definitely one of the more unique chairs I have worked on @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

20.01.2022 Bread and butter on the bench this morning

20.01.2022 Danish hospitality, apples straight from the tree and Teak treasures

18.01.2022 Delightful set of six teak Kai Kristiansen 42s ready for the holiday season. New bent plywood backs, broken leg repairs and multiple timber break outs. New upholstery by the always masterful @hoymidcentury @ Greensborough, Victoria

16.01.2022 Business as usual Firstly I hope everyone is well and being kind to one another. At this point I am still able to operate in this unfortunate landscape we find ourselves in. Both of my workshops are closed to the public with restricted access and as such can ensure that my workspace is sanitized and I can continue work as normally as possible. ... - I can offer a no contact pick up and delivery if you are in quarantine or can ensure that 1.5m social distancing is observed. either way appropriate PPE will be worn. - The materials I generally use during my restoration processes are naturally sanitizing. I will be sanitizing your piece just before delivery as an extra precaution. - All invoicing and payments can be done online via email which is my regular practice in any case. If you have any questions or are wanting a quote on some restoration pieces, please dont hesitate to get in contact. I wish you all the best in these difficult times and thank you all for your continued support!

16.01.2022 Lush set of beech Ligna dining chairs. Stripped of their previous finish and a silky smooth soap finish applied. Stunning upholstery done by the incomparable @hoymidcentury. Lovely work once again James @ Greensborough, Victoria

15.01.2022 Sun is out, these Danish deluxe Nogas are out the door. I really love these after working on them. Beautiful lines in Blackwood @ Diamond Creek, Victoria, Australia

15.01.2022 Little nest of tables with a romantic story. Unfortunately not mine to tell however. This little table came to me with a top that was water damaged. To keep the essence of the table we put a thin veneered board over the existing and edging to match. Happy customer and the story of this little table carries on.

14.01.2022 Its nice to be reminded that skilled craftspeople have toiled over the pieces I work on. Even if its just pencil marks plotting dowel positions. Its nice to be a part of keeping these pieces in service
