We have finished all three frames! Its cause for celebration, because we have been experimenting with finish on these three (had nothing to lose really - they were already fugly), and we have had a breakthrough.
Every time we complete a job, we congratulate ourselves on how well it has turned out - and we truly believe it. But we have moved from 100% sanded finishes to chemically stripped and sanded. From urethaned, to stained and varnished, to oiled, and various types of finishing oil.
With these guys, we think we have arrived. This is the best we have acheived so far with a glass-smooth and softly lusterous finish.
We'll have some images up in a couple of days, and we are happy to discuss fabrics with anyone who is serious about purchasing but wants a particular design or look.
If we get no takers we will do a set of squabs we like and put it on out there.
FYI, if you want a bigger suite we have a second three seater in this style that we have yet to attack. It will finish identically to these ie BEAUTIFUL. Possible combinations then are 3+3+1+1 or 3+3 or 2 x 3+1...
