  Here are the finished seats and accessories. There is a set for a Jolly, a 500 and a Schellette with a dashboard, door pulls and a center console box. There are also 2 seats for a Crosley Woodie Wagon in the mix. All are finished with a mix that will protect them from the elements, just in case.!

Fiat Jolly, Schellete and 500 Wicker seats

 Just dropped off is 4 sets of seats. 1 set is for a Fiat Jolly, 1 set is for a Fiat Schellette 1 is for a Fiat 500 and the 2 in red are out of a Crosley Woody Wagon being converted to wicker. Also in the picture is a dashboard, 2 inside door pulls and a wicker basket I believe goes between the seats.
 

The white vinyl covers what's left of the wicker. Also have the 2 barstools in the back so I guess I need a boatload of round reed!

1936 Ford School Bus Frames

 These are 19 frames from a 1936 Ford School Bus that the customer bought to convert into a food truck! The frame were nickel plated but that had long since gone south leaving the brass base metal and a lot of GREEN! Once polished, they were clear coated for protection.

Childs Wicker Rocker

Here is a childs rocker that the back is broken and what's left is very brittle. The customers have a picture of their 98 year old mother sitting in this rocker as a little girl and plan on having pictures of the grandchildren taken in this rocker to start a family tradition.

Brass Clock

Here is a brass clock that the customer never remembered not being green on the mantel.After taking it apart, we cleaned all the parts, polished them on the wheel and lacqured them to stay bright. The customer has taken it to the clock shop and now it sits on the mantel and runs!

Mahogany Chair

Here is a Mahogany chair that has seen better times. As with a lot of furniture, it has been transformed from a cane chair to an upholstered one to bring it more "up to date". Now it's time to bring it back.
