This hand carved walnut chair restoration included the structural repair of a broken back, and complete refinishing. First the teal green paint (not pictured) was removed by hand using a paste paint remover. The chair
back was then disassembled, and doweled with hardwood before re-gluing. All surfaces were then sanded by hand and stained dark brown. A hand mixed shellac finish was then brushed on, followed by a steel wool rub out and waxing. I like to use Liberon 0000 steel wool available from any
Liberon supplier.
