Windsor windfall

(This post was delayed for a bit, but the fruits of summer freestyle can be enjoyed all year long!)

Summer moving season is here, and with it comes the garbage-fruits of other people's apartment. Yay!

I spotted a pair of Windsor-style chairs in the discard section but initially passed them by because our apartment has plenty of seating already.  However, the very next day a friend with nearly identical chairs expressed the desire for more seating (and a willingness to take freebies). Quelle coincidence!  Luckily the chairs were still there.

Pair of chairs

The finish isn't perfect, and there are a few scratches, but this seems normal for a pair of chairs that are 20+ years old.  When I was turning them over to inspect the loose connector I found a stamp on the underside of the seat, "Made in Yugoslavia." Interesting.

One chair was solid, but the other required some wood glue action to get the cross-brace back in shape.  I don't have any clamps, so I used some bungee cord and books to hold things together while the glue dried.

After a short car ride this pair of cold-war castoffs finally found a new home and some comfortable green cushions.

Happy freestyling!
