This week's update was a shop project we were calling Restoration CSI .

Mainly because it looked like a crime scene. This one was just a tad bit challenging.

The assignment involved restoring a gilded frame that had fallen off the wall.

Below  This was the corner that sustained the most damage. The entire frame

was badly damaged, and there were no carved sections that had not sustained

some degree of damage.

Below:  The pieces recovered at the scene.

As it turned out, about 1/4 of the pieces were missing completely, and had to be

carved.

Below: The frame after the completed restoration. All of the pieces above were

carefully re-glued back in place. The missing parts were then carved in place and

all the damaged areas were gilded to match the original look of the frame.
