My first commission: Quick-Fix on some wicker chairs
A local antiques dealer asked me if I could do a quick fix on a set of old wicker chairs that she had in her shop. They are in pretty bad shape. She just wants them sturdy and functional. She asked me to remove the wicker and fill in the void and she is going to put cushions on them.
no wicker and part of where the wicker attaches is completely broken off
Big old crack in the real leg. Pried it apart and put some west systems epoxy in there and clamped it
used a jigsaw to remove the wicker area in its entirety
Oak plywood cut to fit and attached with pocket screws, hey, I did say quick-fix
holds my weight just fine
one coat of mission oak poly-stain that I had laying around just to make it look a bit nicer
Took me 1 hour on the dot. 1 down 3 to go
