 <\/p>\n

One of the more common breaks I see with nutcrackers are the handles.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is common if the piece gets dropped.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve fixed a number of these over the years (most recently – Anri Dog<\/a><\/span><\/span> & Rolling Eye Anri<\/a><\/span><\/span>) some more difficult than others, but all came out great.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here’s a great piece from one of the Nutcracker Collectors’ Club members that needed the handle repaired.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

The original piece was gone, so a new one had to be added to the existing break then carved and blended to match.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here’s a before picture showing where the handle was broke.<\/h4>\n

Here are a few pictures of the piece all fixed and ready to be put back out on display:<\/h4>\n

The piece came out great and the customer was very pleased with it.<\/h4>\n
