It’s been a while since I posted a before and after picture…. But I figured this one was going to be significant, so I remembered to take the “before”. This is from a 1958 John Deere 440 dozer. It had some challenges, but sometimes I like a challenge! It needed some major woodwork, and a little sleuthing online to see what it should look like. I had a little help from my husband, on grinding things off to start, and putting an obstinate screw or two in to reassemble. At least it’s functional!!

This is what otter damage is like on a pontoon boat! They “otter-not” have done that.😜. Here’s how I decided to remove those spots and fix the hole. Two “before” shots and two “after” shots. Shaping foam is quite difficult, but I did my best.

I’m still thankful for customers that are gracious when things aren’t perfect. This lovely customer allowed me to experiment on his horse buggy. And he even took pictures of it for me on his buggy. All I had to work with was his model picture and the main frame of his seat. It was a fun piece and it’s not everyday that you get to be creative. I’ve included a picture that I had to work with, and my creation, and the entire effect. He was very generous and part of his tip was a bowl that he made…. He said it had imperfections, but to me it’s perfect!
