Had a great couple of days teaching Will Kirk the very talented carpenter from the TV show The Repair Shop. Great fun as he learnt the old Victorian skill quickly.

Last part of the restoration the songwriting. Chose lettering similar to the war graves for obvious reasons. Before and after. Should look good in the church.

Painting the Memorial Cabinet from black to look like mid oak. So base colour and graining tools. The result looks like real wood.
