Day 1968 Island dressing

2nd January 2023

The chairs arrived early, the task ahead of me is significant. Each chair is solid oak and heavy. One of the them had already been started so that was the one I would begin with.

I turned it over and saw that it was made in China which did surprise me.

We also had to finish painting the kitchen island.

The carcass turned out good, but the old filled handle holes were still visible. Although flush, the filler must have absorbed the primer and top coat differently.

Once they are dry, I will go over them with a spirit based primer.

We then went to collect an old desk from Kelli’s brother, this was a classic style with a leather look inset top.

This desk is not the easiest one to convert to side tables, so require careful disassembly, unless we can find a buyer as it is.
