From time to time I restore local Caribbean antiques for people or for myself depending on wether or not I want to keep the piece for our personal collection resale it.

This was a head board for and old bed that someone asked me to fix for there collection. A lot of hours went into this piece but the out come was quite nice I thought.

Great results! Did you spin the spindles on the lathe to sand them?

I've done any number of restorations on various items (in addition to my guitar restorations), most recently a very old mission oak chair with rungs and legs that were, basically, floppy; one was broken and totally missing a critical piece. It WAS a lot of work and one rung broke and I had to find matching wood and produce another rung that would hold. I learned a lot in the process. You did an AWESOME restoration, Eric!
Congratulations!
