Restoration Project - Coal bucket

On this coal bucket, several of the planks had come loose.






A swatch of wood was used as an applicator for inserting PU glue into gaps between the planks.

 One plank was marked up with masking tape to signify the start and finish of the gluing routine.
The planks were clamped and excess glue was removed after it had expanded rather than wiping it off whilst still wet.

 The wood of the bucket was then waxed down using Black Liberon Bison Wax and wire wool.

 The brass was polished using wire wool.
