The other bit of woodwork I have just finished is the chair for Levenshulme repair cafe.
The chair was completely loose and one spindle had snapped due to woodworm.
It has a makers mark signifying that it was produced by Ercol in the 1960s.
The mark shows as:
BS DH 1969 2056
I took the chair apart and then cut off the broken end of the spindle.
The cut was made at an angle and planed flat. A block of beech wood, to match the original, was also cut and planed to a matching angle, and glued in place.
