This guide explains how to assess a chair before starting, how to identify the existing finish with a simple methylated spirits test, and how to reglue mortise and tenon joints properly so the repair lasts. It covers chemical stripping for turned legs and spindles, sanding technique for flat surfaces, raising the grain before finishing, and the strengths of hardwax oil, Danish oil, water based varnish and paint on dining chairs. Also includes advice on drop in seat pads, curing times before daily use, and when refinishing is not the right call."}
