This is Master Leif and behold, he means business !

Upholstering the museum chairs

Master Leif attacking precious Lutson leathers with his hammer ! After hours of removing all the sick internals, putting in new springs, horse-hair, stuffing and canvas, after hours of cutting with dexterity and hammering like mad, but alert and vigilant so the hand and the hammer do what the mind orders. Its time for Mistress Annika to appear, sharp eyed to judge the work done. Leif worked hard, Annika inspected severly and found the work excellent !

Detail of leather trimming and studs

A detail: note the nice trimming cut from the excess of a panel its perfectly positioned and hold in place with the appropriated copper studs.
