Before and . . . .

Here are two photos of the chair that I hope to refinish. I would like for the "after" pictures to be taken not too many months hence. I suppose that I may find that the chair presents more challenges than I am able to meet with equanimity. In the event that I master the challenge, it will be good to have a picture that tells me what it was when I started. Well, as of tomorrow the clock has started. (This particular hobby is not a Sunday type chore.) The fact that the clock is running likely will not stampede me into real rash activity. When my mood, the weather and temperatures are right, I might just get the urge and make some progress toward the final goal -the "after" pictures.

You may recall that I mentioned that I came into possession of this old chair at the same time Jack gave me possession of "Ye Olde Kithcen Cupboard." The old chair is not a piece I grew up with, but the cupboard is, and I remember it from when I was quite a small boy. In fact it was always in the house from the time I start remembering. I believe the old chair might have some ties to Jack's earlier days.

Well all of this banter may not have elevated your spirits greatly, but it has put me in the position of contemplating the project that cries out to me for attention - even "at my age and feeble condition."
