I’ve got my great grandmothers sewing machine from 1900s. The wood veneer is chipped and peeling away. Is there any way to repair this and restore the wood veneer? I found it’s continuing to worse. When I dust it the delaminated veneer catches the fabric of cleaning rags.
I’m not sure if gluing the segments back down and using wood putty to repair the missing segments is what you would do? Then how to finish the wood to seal it? If I glue the bits down will it look unsightly?
Hi @claire_porter,
I suspect the damage cannot be repaired but am keen to hear from some experienced furniture upcyclers in the community.
You can see how member @Cyclist replaced the top of a Singer sewing machine in similar condition in the Featured Project Upcycled Singer sewing machine as vanity.
Other members that might like to share their thoughts include @bellee78, @TheSparrowHome, @Renowayoflife, @Poshrustic and @JoeAzza.
