MEASUREMENTS ARE QUICK assuming you will adjust this or your own workpiece to make things work - if you need precise measurements feel free to message me and let me know which measurements you need - use my measurements as a buying guide... wait until you have this in your possession before you start building out whatever it is you plan to do with this
See photos with the window and chair to help provide some scale - this would be a great headboard, mantle topper, counter base... many great uses (just NOT architectural - purely decorative - do not use this as a load-bearing or supporting part of any structure)
This is so cool! What a find! You could have so many new uses for this old wooden mold pattern. Steampunk Decoration, Industrial Decor, the list could go on!!!
OLD WOOD
- the photo is of the item I am listing; that said, due to changes in humidity and further handling there is a POSSIBILITY joins or even grain may 'pop' between now and when you get the item -- every effort is made to ensure safe transit, and should I notice any change from my own storage and handling from the time-of-listing to your purchase, I will let you know before I ship to ensure things are still agreeable
I perform minimal cleaning - to reduce damage and because many wish to do things their own way.
I have first used a vacuum brush attachment to remove thickest layer of dirt
I then use a damp (very lightly dampened) cloth to remove the finer layers of dust
Lastly, I use a cloth permeated with Murphy's Oil Soap to give items a bit of beauty and protection while in my care
I DO NOT get every nook & cranny - for the utmost cleaning effort, you will need to be armed with some cotton swabs and a bit of yarn (for flossing areas) and take care to not dislodge glue joints or fragile bits
My price reflects the work needed to catalog-list-store-retrieve-ship the item; if I spent too much time cleaning and restoring items, the price would increase significantly.
Shipping: LOCAL PICKUP - if you want to have your shipping agent prep and pick this up, that's fine -- due to size and fragility, I will only help load this into a truck as-is at no charge
