My husband breaks things and I repair them. I've also done this for other collectors. We will start with Dan's.

First was his bookend that had the bottom broken off.

Just glued it and touched up the paint.

The this wonderful gift from hang10tiki needed some tweaking.

Done.

I have been waiting for Dan to break this bowl. I just knew it would happen.

I was able to glue it in place and wood putty the chip and

then paint it to match.

The funny thing is that now they are displayed together.

Now it was time to work on kingstiedye's aka Bullet's repairs.

I started with the Bumatay by Gecko'z because it only needed a touch up on the paint. I mixed two types to get this unusual color.

All done.

I also worked on a couple for Psycho Tiki D but I haven't been able to mix the right colors for his two. I've tried 10 times but neither has worked out yet. Hang in there Psycho I'm still trying.

I filled the chip and when it dried I sanded and carved in the detail.

Then I painted it to match.

I glued on the arm and held it in place with tape.

After it was done I painted it to match.

Just glued and

glued and

glued.

Tomorrow Bullet aka kingstiedye will visit and pick up his

treasures.

Cheers, Wendy
