It’s certainly addictive Martin...I’ve been doing it for about 9 years, there’s always another piece of tempting furniture. I’ve also constructed boxes and headboards. Fortunate that friends often ask what I’m going to do with my next project and then ask if I can do it for them, which is nice, so our house isn’t yet over run with chairs etc...yet 🙂 Has your wife been to Sunbury antiques market at Kempton Park? Early start, but usually some great furniture...possibly not too far from you...or maybe you don’t want to tell her😉My wife's hobby, too. She tours bric-a-brac places, buys things that look like they're only good for the tip and turns them into something that looks almost new. She enrolled in a couple of courses over Reading way, cut her teeth on a foot stool and some dining chairs, did a neat job on a small easy chair and is currently halfway through re-upholstering a chaise longue. As each project involves something bigger than the one before I can only wonder what's next.
