It is well made, and is, I think, difficult to make a chair like this. Can you throw out some possibilities on the make, manufacturer, brand, designer, etc. of this chair? Thanks, j | |||||

| A lot of time has passed, but this project is finally, mostly done 🙂 My process was: - Murphy's oil soap with steel wool - Light sand a few scratches with 320, though I left many of the scratches around the tops of the chair backs since they would have been difficult to sand out (character and all that) - 3 coats of Star Brite teak oil - 1 coat of Howards feed N wax (not sure if this was necessary, but shined things up just a little) I haven't cleaned the chairpads, which have some dents in them. May replace these one day. I'm also still waiting for the scre ... | |||||

| Now I am confused what to do with the chair. 🙂 I cannot leave it like that and stripping the paint including disassembling is probably too difficult. I will try it on another chair, which is not so valuable and look how far I come. Then decide what to do with that one. | |||||
| But you should first identify | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | mgee76 | General discussion | |
| But you should first identify what kind of paint it is. There are some strippers, like Peel Away, or whatever it is, that may work better. Likely, it will not be a clean job. Your best hope is that the original finish lifts off under it when possible... a heavy-bodied chemical stripper left on long enough to work its magic may do the trick. You will want to figure out a way to get the tambours out, which may prove difficult, depending on how the handles are attached. | |||||

| ... have to move to a smaller flat some day.) I did lots of research already. The main problem here is that most of it is online and it's just not possible to see most of the offers in real life. It's really difficult to judge the quality of leather, stitching and everything else just from looking at pictures or videos. And what do do if I find a seemingly interesting offer after two days instead of two years? Would I just skip it to gather more experience? It's not that easy, but I guess a lot of you pros here have been through that... | |||||

| Just for the record, Leif, do you think it is more difficult to mount the 3 straps if you have only one dowel, rather that a strap for each as shown here? That's what I would expect. Leif, I have also another question for you that I'm keeping since a while: I find the system of the elastic webbing very smart and super easy to replace. I think that combined with a teak frame of good quality, a chair will last very long. But then I recently worked (and still I am) on a Grete Jalk armchair made by france and sons, and I cannot understand why they did not adopt ... | |||||

| why, I would have a difficult time parting with either! And to think how many games were won and lost around these beauties! I'd probably try and shoe-horn the rosewood table to the left of the sofa, maybe tucking the existing table underneath for a mixed "nesting" set-up. But if that wouldn't work...I'd probably ___________. Then I'd have a drink. why, Aunt Mark ps. I like large tables next to sofa's.. the perfect surface for books and friendly objects. Eameshead would like the table on the left... pss. I'm digging' the rug. | |||||

| ... H-bases and are therefore probably more desirable. Sets in theory can boost the price per chair, but ironically may also make it much more difficult to find a buyer, for the same reason; it depends on luck and circumstance, venue of sale, location, etc... ***Where do all the 4th bolts go?????????*** . | |||||

The only thing that I might be able to do is to post a note in the local newspaper in Vejen to see if anyone know anything about who the previous owner was and where it originally was bought. The top of the chair is teak and the rest is oak 🙂 | |||||
| A couple of thoughts: | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | tktoo | Repair | |
| A couple of thoughts: Simply putting glue, any glue, into the splits and then clamping them closed is not going to fix anything. The splits will reappear with the next dry season. And I cannot ever recommend epoxies for repair of fine furniture as they are extremely difficult if not impossible to remove. If the table were mine, and the top were otherwise structurally sound, I'd try to remove the milky glue residue and leave things as they are. Wood moves, like it or not. I'm a bit surprised that the boards comprising the top appear to be flat or rift-sawn ra ... | |||||

| No problem Ponyboy. Sounds like you will be able to have a number of different options and looks with your J16 rocker collection! The pillow is one my wife made from Pendelton remnants, and has since been properly stuffed, the seat and back came with the rocker. It definitely is more comfortable with the cushions on. I would also like to take a moment and tell mgee that he did a killer job on that J16 refinish above. Taking one of these apart and refinishing, is no small task. It is not that it is difficult, but more so tedious with all the spindles on ... | |||||
| I've seen those pins in cast | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | gropius | Repair | |
| I've seen those pins in cast brass, used in built-in furniture from the turn of the century (1900). In fact they are used in a built-in bookcase in my library, and it was really hard to find a replacement, though I finally did. It required keeping the part in mind any time I was at a flea market type place that might have bins with bits and pieces of brass hardware. Leif, these are put into recessed holes in the bottom four corners of each shelf, with only the pins sticking out of the shelf and into small holes running up the sides of the cabinet. They and a ... | |||||
| Not burning through veneer is | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Zephyr | Repair | |
| Not burning through veneer is almost entirely based on how closely you are paying attention to what you are doing. Sanding is obviously a pretty dull pursuit, so this is much more difficult than one might expect. Start with finer grit if you are really concerned. Also, attaching a vacuum (shop vac) to the dust output of your sander helps quite a bit, as it allows you see the wood better. Keep the sander flat with even pressure. It is tempting to use the edge to focus you effort, but before long you will find yourself doing this all the time; it does no ... | |||||

| ... these cracks. It is possible that the oak just spontaneously split, but that is extremely unlikely. Since the pins are missing, it makes me think someone "modified" this piece. Was the top ever screwed to the base? That could easily have caused these splits. (the oak wanted to shrink but it was pinned in place by the screws, so it split in order to shrink). Are there any dents or scrapes that would indicate the top was abused (dropped from the roof, used as a frisbee, etc)? If you could explain why these cracks happened and it is due to something that ... | |||||
