Here’s a nice Parrot figural nutcracker that came in for repairs recently.

This piece had a nasty break at the base and needed an age appropriate refresh on the colors and finish.

Here are some pictures of the piece before the restoration work began:

 

Here is a picture of the piece in process with all the new wood in place:

 

Here are some pictures of the piece all done before being shipped back to its owner to be proudly added to his extensive collection:

This was quite a difficult piece to repair due to the complexity of the break at the base.

This one took me 2 or 3 tries to get right. I’m very fortunate to have really good customers who are patient and understanding if a piece is taking a while.

The extra time this one took paid off. The customer was very happy with how great this piece turned out.
