The restoration piece finally made it back to Bob Mills.\u00a0 It had quite a trip getting back home.\u00a0 England was in the midst of a postal strike and then customs also became a problem.\u00a0 However, the nutcracker is at it’s home and Bob emailed us to let us know he received it…..<\/p>\n

“Well, he’s finally arrived, what a GREAT job! He looks fabulous, how on earth did you manage to get the patina to match so well ? presumably the ‘new’ boxwood was a much lighter colour originally ?<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The fact that he stands without support is definitely a bonus, he looks very happy in my cabinet amongst some other treasures.”<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\nNow that we know Bob is happy with the restoration I can show our payment for the work done.\u00a0\u00a0 Brandon originally contacted Bob in July regarding purchasing a couple nutcrackers for our anniversary.\u00a0 Bob and Brandon bartered for the restoration work to be done.\u00a0 In return for the restoration Bob would give three nutcrackers for our new collection.\u00a0 These are the three…..<\/p>\n

We are absolutely thrilled with the three pieces we received. \u00a0 Brandon made some awesome stands for them so they can be displayed on our mantle.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Bob for the wonderful opportunity of working on such a great old nutcracker.\u00a0 It was an exciting project and it turned out to be a very special piece.\u00a0 Also, thank you for helping our new collection grow!<\/p>\n
