As a professional furniture conservator in private practice for over 50 years, I want to say that I was impressed with your video, your humility and the results. I started watching this video because I thought the chair was beyond repair. You did a fantastic job. I feel your pain when the crest did not fit, but you solved the problem. And I appreciate your shot of the Old Brown Glue, which I developed and now sell internationally. My best wishes for future projects.

Old Brown Glue (hide glue) would have been a good choice for the other glued joints too (but not the repairs) , rather than polyurethane. I buy it here in Canada from Lee Valley.

Preserved something for another 6-7 generations is just phenomenal. Such a gorgeous result. I can see now why restored antiques demand lofty prices. Worth every cent.

Wow. You have some serious machines, tools, stains, and wood treatments! Much, much more than the standard DIY guy. You must've been buying this stuff for years. It's clear you love this work! (And yes, I love Hugo, too. Sweet kitty!)
