Using hide glue is still the best glue to use for veneer work on furniture. In fact it is one of the most reliable glues as it is also reversable.

Now to finish my project.

MDF is not my kind of material I work with but every now and then such a repair comes my way.

Here I had to trim water damage to a table leg, then fill the void and glue it then I screwed it in place, sanded it off flush then painted it.

Finished these panels to stick photographs etc on to for a client.

The brief was fynbos flowers motive and yellow frame.

Made a matching mirror frame as well.

Working with cane. Busy restoring art deco chairs I realise some of the beading were either damaged or lost so I decided to use a broader cane beading. Simply wet it with water, roll it up and let it dry in the sun for a few hours. It helps managing it later. I painted it black and now epoxy and nailed it to the piece.
