Projects:
There are a number of projects that will afford student practice. See recommended resources for recovering slip seats. Repairable furniture from customers, board office furniture, local library branch, second-hand stores, and students' homes may be appropriate. Good sources of furniture for mass production of slip seat recovering are restaurants, seniors homes, or board offices.

To repair the scratched surface. (TL) |
Have the students sand out or touch up the stain to match the original piece. Matching stain and touching up can be difficult. Make sure all coating edges are feathered.
