Rebuilding of antique bed Tiffany bought in IN. This Birdseye maple bed had some issues and had to be rebuilt. The pins holding the sideboard brackets in place were missing or so loose they would fall out. They were replaced by custom made spring steel compression pins (all 8 of them).
It was discovered that the legs had been all shortened and that the foot board had been modified as well. The foot board required new veneer (as the old was missing) new moulding and a new top cap (the 2 lower right pictures). Lots of glueing, sanding and re-staining . Now about to start the finish coating.
