Mahogany must taste like MilkBones

Chair or Chew toy?

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE"!

Are the first words out of your mouth, the minute you walk into the living room. Cowering in the corner is your 8 month old Golden Retriever. " I'm sorry, but my teeth hurt and your furniture tastes good", is what he seems to be saying as he looks up at you.

Old leg removed and new one made and ready to install

It would seem that the damage was far too severe and would cost too much, to be repairable but looks can be deceiving. Anything made out of wood can be repaired, especially furniture. Mass produced furniture is built to be assembled easily, because time is money. Most of the joinery is very simple and strong and comes apart quite easily. The picture above shows the old chair leg next to the new one I built.(I will adjust the length of the leg once I position it back on the chair for accuracy.)  From start to finish that process only took a little over an hour. You can figure that it's going to take another hour and some to finish the leg and install it and it's ready for many more years of service.    Providing that dog has acquired a more discriminating taste in chew treats.
