I finished a sword restoration today. This is a 1790 dated French Revolutionary officer's sabre. It is called a Petit Montmorency or sometimes a miner's sword. Somehow it ended up in Central Alberta. To restore it I re-did the wire wrap, replacing part of the copper strip. The leather grip was rejuvenated and cleaned. I cleaned the rusted blade, and re-shaped the deformed hilt. I added a chape to the scabbard, and cleaned silver paint off it. #Sabre #Restorations #antiques

I found many treasures in the attic of my childhood home, including this Eastlake Victorian style bed, which I refinished as a teenager, under my grandmother's tutelage. It's been with me my whole life. #eastlakevictorianstyle #eastlakevictorianstylebed #antique #antiques #refinish #refinishing #refinisher #refinishingfurniture #furniture #oldfurniture #antiquefurniture #antiquebed #antiquebeds #guestroom #guestrooms #vintage #old #ancient #wood #wooden #craftsman #craftsmanship

Bantry Market’s Most Diverse Stall

Traditional Catholic culture meets modern Irish culture in this stall. A statue of Mary holds a Cork flag, the red and white instantly recognisable by anyone in the County.

There’s something for everyone at this stall.
