Es hermosa!! No se como llegué hasta aquí, pero es una respuesta, siempre desde saber cómo se hacia, gracias por enseñar con gran paciencia, Dios le bendiga😻😻
We've used wood dyes to tone the shellac before applying. And we used to use polyurethane early on before we switched to shellac for fumes/compatibility purposes. Staining and then applying any clearcoat should work just fine...theoretically. Haven't tried it personally. Brushing stain on/wiping off excess would work better than trying to wipe it on with a rag. Thanks for the question!
We typically don't do staining. We do a clear coat of shellac which can be tinted with a dye like Trans Tint. I'm sure a polyurethane would work, but we prefer to leave color work to furniture refinishers with more experience...so many shades of brown!
Nós o conhecemos como Splint Reed, mas também é conhecido como cana-de-interior. É a medula interna da palmeira de rattan. Você pode usar o mesmo processo com outras cascas ou tiras de madeira.
I have a couple questions , did you add a cushion in between the reed? Is this something that’s necessary? Also did you just wrap the wire around a couple times and pinch it with the pliers ? Other than that thanks for the video I believe I can restore an old rocking chair now haha, now time to get to work !
Hi, thanks for watching. We did add a foam padding, it's not necessary but it helps distribute the weight of the sitter and may increase longevity of the seat at the front rail. None of the old school chairs have padding. If the chair were outside, I would not stuff it with anything so that the material can breathe and moisture doesn't collect in the padding.
@@NevahScubbabubba we do a wire wrap instead of string or staples-it doesn't puncture the material like staples and it holds the warps together better than string. They are removable, so at the end we snip and remove visible wires for a cleaner seat.
Only soak as much reed as you will use in a session. Multiple soakings can turn the material grey. Before starting a new weaving session, rewet the seat with a spritz bottle or damp cloth. Thanks for watching!
