So, please drop by Bea's Place at the new url address!
I am looking forward to seing you there!

Welcome!
Come on in and sit a spell. Nothing like a good cup o' and some warm treats to brighten up a day!
Today, I was asked about a sun-bleached wooden chair, and how to fix it. Apparently, the old oak chair set had sat in a barn for many years, and one of the chairs has a noticeable bleached out swath across the top back slat, and part of the seat rails. The wood is quite dried out from not being cared for in years.
This kind of damage CAN be fixed without completely refinishing the chair. In fact, it is best to avoid stripping the chair, or sanding out this type of damage, as the chair may end up not matching the other chairs or table. Woods tend to age (don't we all? ha,ha), and the trick is to keep the finishes looking uniform. You don't want one chair, out of six, having a different tone and color. There is fairly simple way to keep the original finish intact, and still fix the damage. Here's how:
First, you will want to....
