A nice English elm Ercol Furniture table saved from the tip! Books had been piled on one end of the table, tipping it onto the floor and snapping 1 of the leaves. I did think about simply regluing it, but opted for cutting out the broken stave instead. Was replaced, the finish and stain were stripped revealing the lovely grain of the elm that had been largely obscured. Have a say, I don't know what stain ercol use for their "old colonial" line, but it is a complete pig to remove entirely!
