I'm a huge fan of fixing what you have, rather than buying reproduction. No criticism on those who do. I can put up with repairs if I have the good old originals. Did you take new thread and stitch your way through all that with a needle? It turned out well. That bed floor work looks tough. The thing is that when you get all of the big bumps and dents out of it, the medium sized ones get bigger. And when you get the medium ones out, then the small ones get bigger.

Wu Tang is not for everybody! I used nylon upholstery thread and hand stitched them with a needle so I could use the existing holes in the welting. You are right about the bed floor. The better it get the more I think "Well, I've taken it this far, I may as well make it as good as I can". I would regret it if I stopped before it was truly ready to paint.
