In with the new panel.
It has been agreed with CCT to take a SPAB (Society for Protection of Ancient Buildings) approach to this restoration. I.e. minimum intervention/leaving the new timber unstained. It will mellow in in 50 years or so.
The joints drawbored/pulled tight as they were before. It's amazing what oak will put up with!
Shape the ends of the pegs to the moulding, and then a look at the back. The rear of the panel matches the original panels now, with axed chamfers.
I Like that it is visible new. No false patina or painting! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThankyou. Obvious repairs, it's the SPAB way. I can see value in both approaches, however, and have tried both in the past.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you are able to reconstruct using the same techniques must have been a heck of a relief for the church. Nice job. Gav
