Quality Mid Century Teak Furniture Restoration | Wood, Wood Putty, and Finish Repair How To

Описание: Learn how to restore mid-century modern teak furniture as Scott demonstrates repairing a pair of classic mid century chairs. It requires using the right glue, the right wood filler, and the right finish to make this furniture beautiful again.

These chairs came to our workshop with loose legs. There were problems with the wood finish as well due so someone spreading wood putty across several areas to disguise previous damage. The wood putty didn't match the chair finish so it was obvious and took away from the beauty of the chair.

Mid century modern furniture was designed to celebrate the natural wood and these chairs are a great example of that. The teak shows many colors in the wood as it isn't stained. The finish on mid century chairs that were made in the United States is most frequently a lacquer, but it's important to test it to make sure you're applying the right finish when restoring the furniture to preserve its value (please don't use polyurethane).
