Great result on what, to me at least, was a very complicated job. I do like how you describe your thought process during the work to arrive at your reason for working a particular way. After seeing you use Gilboys Wax in a previous video I have already bought some but hopefully I can use the code for any future purchases. Lovely to see Toffee at the end.
Makes me look at older furniture with a different perspective. So much better for the environment to upcycle these wonderful high quality pieces than buy „disposable“ furniture.
There is an article in the Antiques Trade Gazette from February 21st which estimates "the buyer of a standard dining table might save an estimated 460kg - nearly half a tonne - of CO2 emissions compared with buying a similar one new as that amount is about what it would take to manufacture the latter." and adds "Of course, some pieces of new furniture such as cheap flatpack items will not last as long as vintage or antique furniture with its quality craftmanship, meaning that more than one new item might have to be bought over time to last as long as the better-made older item, further extending the carbon footprint advantage" ...so I think you are spot on Doug!

Thank you! Toffee turns up when she feels like it and chose the sunniest point in the whole restoration ...clever cat.
