Transforming an old Victorian chair into a stunning accent chair!

[@carolinemitchell5241]

Thanks for the very helpful video. Lovely to see your expert work and see the super result. Inspired me to think of tackling a similar precious family chair :)

[@departmentofreinvention]

Thanks so much! You should give it a go!

[@carolinemitchell5241]

Thanks so much. Definitely going to do it! Thanks for showing your brilliant job again!

Is that just a regular carbide scraper or a fabulous power scraper that I"ve never seen before? That finish is coming off like butter!

[@departmentofreinvention]

Yep, just a standard tungsten carbide blade! It did come off surprisingly easy! This chair has been reupholstered a few times so I’m wondering if the previous restorer used a thinner varnish.
