*Update: Class Spots Have Opened!!!*
Space has just opened in my March 24th Helix class as well as Follansbee’s May 25th class. You can enroll anytime by emailing info@petergalbert.com.

The C-arm had coffee spilled in the seat and there are lots of dings from folks carrying wrench sets and hand grenades in their back pockets.
I made these seats out of butternut, knowing that pine would show damage from the assault more readily. Butternut is still rather soft, so it still shows the dents and scratches. I started by using a wet paper towel and iron to steam out as much as I could. Tom said he wanted the chairs “freshened up”, not completely redone, so some of the wear and tear will still show, though, I did decide to repaint the C-arm.
