Antique Indonesian


Charles was working on a small Indonesian side table. The wooden joints had started to separate so Charles was placing shivs of timber in the gap and gluing the joints back to full strength. At the same time Phil was preparing paints and varnishes to ensure the colours of the finished job would match the dark wood of the original carvings.

This small table was purchased in Indonesia about 50 years ago so it will soon be an antique ... and lovingly restored to its former glory.
