Another completed restoration.
This 60 year old BSA MKII Airsporter was in a sorry state when it came to me as it had been stored badly in an attic for 20+ years.
The walnut stock was in pieces (delamination at the scarfe joints due to moisture ingress) so had to be rebuilt and finished.
The iron-work was stripped down and re-blued and a respray on the aluminium trigger block.
Pretty much a complete rebuild but back in perfect working order!

We have some restoration/rebuilding to do on an old sewing machine table. It's been left outside for many years and has severe moisture damage so most of the woodwork is ruined. The steel fram however is solid.
There's life in it yet!
