This solid Oak Table has been a very interesting piece to work on, as it had many problems to solve, firstly, it had very bad woodworm on the underside of the legs, that I treated by injecting the liquid into the holes and in doing so it penetrated deep into the timber.
Then as you can see the top had one portion that was loose and had to come off and be re-glued.
After the glue had dried overnight, I sanded the top level and in doing so, helped to lose the slightly raised jointed edge.
The legs had very large splits and many missing pieces, so the best plan of action was to splice in some timber for an authentic repair.
Once the splicing had dried, it was time to shape into and match up with the existing timber.
As the table is going to be used constantly, it required a lacquered finish, so I applied four coats buy a brush, to give the surface a good base on which to work, then after a good smooth down, I then went onto spray over with an additional four / five coats of lacquer.
I am very pleased with the result.
I think the Table was made around the 1930s but in the style of a much older period.
Thank you for reading.
