restoration project
by dantheman on Thu Oct 15, 2009 2:13 pm
I bought this lovely bit of 70's art from a fair recently,it consists of veneer pieces mounted on
hardboard,I just love the retro look that it will add to my staircase.

Nice! I'm always on the lookout for original wall-art & hangingy type things - string pictures are my current fave (I know they're tacky but I love 'em anyway).
What restoration does your wooden piccy need Dan?
