Restoring An Antique Handmade Victorian Balloon Chair

Hi! Today on Spooks Tools I show myself how I restored a load of old firewood my father dumped on me and make it into a chair.

This Victorian/Edwardian Balloon Back Chair was hand-made in Beech, and originally had a cane seat. My father inherited or found it and used it till it fell apart. He took it apart about 20 years ago and sanded it down and kept it in the loft until this week.

The chair had many missing pieces, but was dry and free of woodworm. So I used some glue and old bits of wood to tack it back together, and using some old foam and pillow case I found lying around, made a cushion for it. After the video completed I added some pegs to the bottom of the front legs to make it a little less like the leaning tower. My father will be suitably impressed hopefully.
