Why use the shellac? The Minwax wood finish acts as a sealer already. Great project, I would've used a polyurethane with less gloss to keep the wood feeling old but still nice.

Fantastic Ron, just about to start on two Wooden Tub chairs with leather seats that I found by the side of the road. Have never done this before and your video has me fired up and full of useful tips. Have shared you on my FB. Thanks, Paul from London UK.

What a great video and a great job on the chair. I love that the owner did the caning herself. And I particularly loved the end when she brought out the sister chair. I would have screamed "noooooooooooo" and ran out the door! :-)

What a great chair repair video Ron! And I'm so happy to see one of my fellow chair caners and member of the SeatWeaving & Chair Caning Forum, Rhonda Voos, giving chair caning instructions to you guys to finish off the project! Keep up the good work and if you ever need more chair caning advice or help, check out my website and YouTube videos.

Excellent video. The "oh-oh" moments were brilliant, hammed up humor to give us more knowledge for our own inevitable "oh-oh" moments. I'll have my eye open for a new project now.

Thanks for your TV Show and Web-site. I now have the tools to refinish my oak table and five antique chairs. It will take awhile but it will worth it to see the finish project.

Great video! I'm refinishing an old table I bought at a garage sale and this video was really helpful in figuring out what I needed to do with the carvings. Glazing is also a great tip! Would've never thought about that! :)
