I removed the old finish on this Federal style Butterfly Wingback and decided to leave it natural, just a clear coat for protection--I LOVE the way it came out. She'll be picked up for reupholstering, so excited to see the finished work. Stay tuned!

Everything back in its place!

Getting there! I have to say it's been a good project for me to take on. My sewing background has come in handy, a shout out to my slipcover sistah Francesca Bogoslofski. The pieces we worked on over the years were foundational to what I've done so far, grateful to have you in my life Decca Do 🩷

Of course, I have another project in the works too. This maple desk was showing its age, fortunately, I was able to get out most of the surface damage on the desktop. Restained and poly, prime/base coats are done. On to the finish coat and glaze.

Not a difficult task, but a very tedious one. The chair is finally stripped, and I'm still excited lol!
