| Worth it for what purpose-- | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Worth it for what purpose-- to keep? To sell? What are you looking at as far as reupholstery costs? Rates vary wildly depending on your location. Fabric prices are all over the place, too--I probably wouldn't spend a ton of money on high end fabric for these but fortunately it's possible to get very good fabric for way under wholesale if you are patient and diligent in your search. | |||||

| ... similar but you can find a lot of vintage chairs that are close to this if you are willing to be patient and diligent in your search. You may have to invest in reupholstery, too but the plus side of that is that you'll have exactly the fabric you want in the end. http://www.roomandboard.com/rnb/product/detail.do?productGroup=25652&cat... | |||||
| Yeah, multiple coats of oil | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Zephyr | General discussion | |
| ... every droplet of water goes. Whether or not it is necessary, is also very dependent on the wood itself, and how much oil it will take/need. I would not want to do multiple coats, with the cording still on those chairs, either. It is worth noting, however, that I have seen a fair number of Mollers, that were just oiled, that had a pretty robust finishes on them. Years and years of diligent oil maintenance can yield a pretty protective finish. | |||||
| I agree, teak vs. rosewood | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Zephyr | Repair | |
| ... really long. Boiled Linseed Oil (BLO) is definitely better than straight LO, but still not hing on my list for furniture application. If you are looking for a natural oil, I would recommend pure Tung Oil over BLO. All this said, I am in the process of a complete restoration of 4 Moller 75's, and 2 Moller 55's. I have all the 75''s refinished, and two of them rewoven. I used Watco Teak Oil with great results. I started from bare wood, and applied probably 9 coats. 6 of the coats were with OOOO steel wool, and the remaining 3 with lint-free cloth. The ... | |||||
| Just did the same thing with | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Zephyr | Repair | |
| Just did the same thing with a few model 71s. I have been taking diligent notes, planning to post what I learned here. If I am ever able to get the free time to put it into a presentable format (same goes with the Kjaernulf chairs that I have basically finished, but need to photograph) I also, consequently, have a 57 that just needs the joints re-glued, and new cord. It is sitting in the refinishing queue. I suspect that the side chairs are all very similar in dimension. This being the case, the 57 that I have has the following: F/B Rail - 19 nails R (a ... | |||||

| The rafter tails cut the way they've been | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| The rafter tails cut the way they've been may be a nice design detail, but has also provided areas for fungus to get a purchase. I assume that they're cedar to have lasted this long. That much exposed end grain requires diligent maintenence and treatment. There's no way around it short of going the custom sheet metal caps route as suggested. | |||||
| A lot of good stuff can be found | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| A lot of good stuff can be found at great prices IF you are diligent and patient. There are already tons of tips in the "The last thing you acquired" threads (16 of 'em and counting!) on this board. But you need to also develop an idea of the style that you like. To just say "designer seating under $400" is very broad. On the other hand, if you are thinking that you want brand new pieces that retail for under $400---good luck! | |||||

| I guess that will be your lesson learned. You apparently could have made some good money off of it if you were interested in being less that diligent with your attribution (see one elsewhere, and take the attribution as fact). I don't think I would be laughing. :0 | |||||
| Teak | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | Riki | General discussion | |
| Teak That teak deck is really beautiful! I really don't like how fake the Trex stuff looks either but pressure treated lumber warps down here in South Carolina in the heat and humidity no matter how diligent you are with the sealants. SDR- that picture of the t-beam thing is the top hand rail that goes around the decking and the balusters (bannisters?) are inserted up inside it. That one that I pictured was the only "plain" one on their website. The other options all have ogee edges or other various molding effects that just looked Colonial or Arts & Craf ... | |||||

| Not Pearsall | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Not Pearsall Pearsall legs were attached with hidden screws and they had more substantial dimensions and more gracefully curved edges. They were also solid walnut with an oiled finish. I have reupholstered a number of them and the legs/bases and trim are the best thing about them, quality-wise. If you really, really love it, get it redone in a good fabric. You can get some good deals on Ebay still if you are patient and diligent. That will help to defray costs. I personally would hang on to it while looking at other Danish Modern style sofas.
