| I might have been the one | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Zephyr | Repair | |
| I might have been the one that started that conversation, as I learned to weave a a couple years ago, thanks to the direction I received on this forum, mainly from Spanky and her blog. Thanks again by the way. I started with a yugo folding chair, which still is not entirely complete, and went on to various dinning chairs. It is not at all difficult once you have it down, just time consuming. Check out this site, and somewhere in there is a discussion of weaving (it an awesome site, the blogger is a kick-ass re-finisher): http://www.modernchairrestoration ... | |||||
| Perhaps I am one of those | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Mark | Repair | |
| Perhaps I am one of those "difficult to reach" clients. Unless the workmanship on the refinished product is executed to a standard as originally intended, I walk away. Carry on, Aunt Mark | |||||

| Thank you Leif. Fairly difficult finding another example even including Asko in my search query. Must not have been a very popular choice among customers. | |||||
| Hi all, | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Ernest Rams | General discussion | |
| ... under such chair? As you can see from the photos, they are quite loose. I have tried to remove the wooden stick and to tighten the rubber band, but it did not work. First, is quite difficult to re-insert the wooden stick surrounded by the rubber band inside the wooden frame, I guess because I would need to use a hummmer to gently force the rubber to go inside. Is it difficult to replace the entire rubber bands, otherwise? Thank you, Ernest. | |||||
| I also tought that one could | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Ernest Rams | Repair | |
| I also tought that one could leave the bookshelves in their original position, but of course it limits the sellability of the item, as some buyers have special needs. objectorship, thank you for making me loughthing this evening, it's difficult to find something funny these days. Cheers, Ernest | |||||
| Hi Leif, | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Ernest Rams | Repair | |
| Hi Leif, thank you for the suggestions. What I find difficult is that these leather products are not so easy to find in a shop, and therefore I had a look on the internet but as you say, it is necessary to know what kind of leather the pillows are made of. Here some pictures, any suggestion or brand for products is welcome. | |||||
| Hi DrPoulet, | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Ernest Rams | General discussion | |
| Hi DrPoulet, thank you for posting the picture of the villa. The carpet is really nice, quite bad they don't sell it. Imagine in light blue or cobalt, I would have tought about it. I recently bumped, thanks to some suggestions on this forum, to the carpet's producer Francisco Cumella, and they make really nice stuff. I got really interested in their carpet "bloom" but my wife pointed out that it might be difficult to clean. Cheers, Ernest. | |||||
| Hi, I have finally had time | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Ernest Rams | General discussion | |
| ... was really worn out. I must say that the result is OK. I put new Pirelli webbings, and it was an easy job, but I had another person helping me making them tight. I did not cut the extra parts yet, and probably I'll leave as they are (this speak for a lack of confidence on my job, but I know nothing can happen there). In summary: thank you Leif for the very nice support, also during the early identification of this chair. And thanks to the others that commented as well. This armchair is actually not difficult to be found, but not for this reason the design o ... | |||||
| Dear all, | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Ernest Rams | General discussion | |
| Dear all, I had finally time to have a closer look at the chair, and I am starting the renovation process. But I'll need a lot of your suggestions, I think. Leif, yours are particularly welcome! As you can see, I discovered a few thigs. First, under the seat there is a black cover fixed with pins and two screws, which I have removed. It is not in best shape but I guess I could put it back or even better ask someone to redo it. Then, the frame where the webbings are placed it can be removed. This is the beauty of the danish design. I am glad that I can discov ... | |||||
| The banding on this appears | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Kyle Barrett | Identification | |
| The banding on this appears to be super thick, difficult to explain quite how it's constructed in words, but I feel confident than if I WANTED to I could use 80 grit sanding it. Every edge of veneer on it appears to be 4mm thick. And the banding construction itself I think is ply - even if the layers aren't completely evident without close inspection. Okay, that's stuff to work with. I definitely like to idea of scraping, I've seen others do it online but thought it required some skill and the opportunity to mess up your veneer was as high as sanding - excep ... | |||||

| ... had been initiated before you acquired it, so there is no need to bring up the original finish discussion here, - it is very difficult to replicate the original stained beech finishes on Danish Modern pieces, - new stain finishes can often appear uneven on stripped beech wood, - when the Danish stained beech rather than leave it in its natural state, they were trying to simulate more luxurious woods; therefore a black treatment on the same piece is keeping with the original spirit of the finish. - the wood was not teak, rosewood, mahogany, etc. - and after ... | |||||
| Oh, that's wonderful. | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Oh, that's wonderful. Someone posted this same article at Wright Chat last week, and we enjoyed a peek at this unique aerie. So you've been there . . . The fish-eye camera makes it a bit difficult to get the geometries sorted out -- but what a wonder. The stonework alone is noteworthy. Does it look as you remember it ? I like the Nelson bench described as "a wood bench with metal legs". . . ! | |||||
| I really think those look | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Zephyr | Repair | |
| I really think those look like teak, based on the pictures. Teak has a really wide variation in color from honey to redish brown, and even wider variation in grain. All this gets even more difficult when you consider that the wood has aged 20-70 years. Earlier on, I definitely had trouble telling teak from walnut, and still have to double take at times to be sure. Probably the most common wood mis-attribution that I see, is people claiming walnut as teak. Ok, so to your question, yes J L M | |||||
| Cracked molded-plywood panels | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | tktoo | Repair | |
| Cracked molded-plywood panels are among the most technically challenging and difficult of all repairs. In almost all cases, an "invisible" restoration is simply not possible without re-veneering at least one face of the lamination. Often, with regard to vintage production furniture, replacement of the damaged panel is the cost-effective option when historical accuracy is the goal. Unfortunately, any intrinsic historic value your stool may have had in the collector market is already lost as I imagine the purchase price reflects. That said, I think glassing * ... | |||||
| Such post should be moved to | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Ernest Rams | Identification | |
| Such post should be moved to the section "Identification". I think that the identification will be particularly difficult as it does not seem to have peliculiarities of famous cabinet makers or designers. So I would say, from my little experice, being a generic piece. Good luck Ernest | |||||
