Housebound trophy


Before
We're not just reading books and binging on "The House of Cards" during this protracted housebound cold spell, ya know. There's a bit of activity going on in the basement workshop.
A vandalized leather chair that we acquired from the Stonebrooke Clubhouse for $25 (at right) just got a revitalizing dye job in a "Bordeaux" tint, which hopefully picks up our woodwork. First time we've tackled a transparent dye applied to sanded, cleaned aniline leather. What do you think? Final protective coat goes on tonight.
Then we'll sit down on it for a while . . . wearing old clothes first. :)
