What wax did you use on the painted fabric seats on the chairs? I am going to attempt this!

My uncles had a dump we would go to my mom would find things and refurbish, this brought some memories flooding in❤️

@@OurUpcycledLifeI wonder if the linseed oil you used on the rocker would have reduced the brittleness of the wicker on the sewing basket/planter? Or use the linseed oil to moisturise and when it dries off spray the lacquer over the top? I doubt you will see my comment 8 months after the fact but if by chance you do I would love to know your experienced opinion on this suggestion.

What a lucky find. Chippy sounds perfect!!

With the wood burning you would have more even look with a wider tip burner and go with the grain instead of against

Gorgeous

I love ur channel & the many pieces u’ve up-cycled. I’ve done a few wood burning projects in the past & I found that burning in the direction of the wood grain, the same as u would when u paint, brings out the grain more evenly. Going against the grain gives u streaks. Ur piece did look so much nicer with the darker grain so it was a great choice. Thank you for sharing ur creativity, I always enjoy watching u & amazed how the pieces have been transformed 💜

Love your up-cycling techs. Remember you can use Lin seed oil on wicker too. When I seen you varnish over the wicker plant stand and not apply Lin seed brought the thought to me of using Lin seed to slow down the cracking while you were working on it.

I too just found a rocker!!! Free needs a little help as a slat is missing on the bottom so I have a large piece of tile cut to fit the seat. For the missing slat on the back I am just respacing the remaining ones. Add a hang pillow on the back and a lawnchair seat on top of the tile fits perfect. Wish I could share the photos !

Yes works well

I agree with painting the backs of everything. I used to sell lots of upcycled furniture in our store and always painted the back of every piece, otherwise it looks like you were just to cheap or lazy to do it, and it undermines the value of the piece and reflects badly on your attitude towards your work. Your endless ideas for everything of every size is very admirable.
