Very good video about patina. I think restoration a lot of times is a nono. Especially the older the piece is. I have had plenty of collectors mad at me myself. For my restoration jobs. Oh well. Nice job on the video!
I agree leave the patina. My grandfather brought back a Hitler youth knife that was all rusted on the scabbard and the leather was torn up, but it tells a story of how my grandfather found it. It also had blood on it, so I ask myself did he take this off a dead German, possibly from a member of the 12 SS HJ panzer division following the Ardennes offensive? I don't know but I like to Imagine where it came from.
I hear ya. Me and my dad found a 24 Studebaker in a barn and found out that the particular model was extremely rare. We spent the summer deciding if we should redo the whole thing or keep it the way it is. We ended up deciding on keeping it but making sure all the "cancer" is stopped and any parts that are broken are replaced with original parts of the period.
That chair is the coolest looking piece I have ever seen like that. That spiral motion the legs are doing is incredible! Great video Will! You Can't Replace Patina!
@SupaFlyFatGuy859 Thanks - the chair is one of my favorites. The legs have what's called an open barley twist. The pieces at the bottom of the chair are regular barley twist. Will
Will, I don't understand why you would not restore items? I mean if the piece actually has a story behind it and its well known then why would u restore it, but if its just a piece passed down through history and has a story behind it, but it is not well known, then why keep it the same way it is. People would just look at it as a rusted thing of junk and not know nothing about it. Instead with the not well known pieces you are better off erasing the unknown past and making a new one for it.
the aged look and patina is so disired by guitar players and collectors these days that Fender and some other guitar manufacturers actually sell product lines of new guitars that are made to look old. They have what they call "distressed" or "relec" finishes. And worn necks. Brand new from the factory. Go figure. Some of them do look cool though.
