Awesome job. You did an excellent job repairing this box and I’m happy that it’s cat approved.

Wow, when you took it out of the box I thought it was the woodworm holding hands keeping that box together

The piece was an hour away from self-destruction! You have given it another 125 years of use. I do not restore furniture so I will never use the skills you demonstrate but I love knowing how it is done. Also helps to be able to recognize what is going on on older pieces…such as those hinges. Interesting. You did a wonderful job creating the boxes. Love it!

My ancient Turkish might be a little rusty, but the saying inside the lid appears to be " curses upon those who disturb the sleep of these many, many woodworms" 😮

Wow, I can't believe how much you were able to save! Amazing . A piece of history. Your detail was just stunning. Your gate is solid and isn't going anywhere either! Wonderful!
