Saved from the Dumpster - You can do this too!

Here is an example of a piece of furniture literally saved from the dumpster.  The woodwork was badly scarred, the hand-tied 8-coil springs (more on that later) were falling out along with assorted innards.  I wish I had the before picture but look at this beauty now!  I call it my Morningside Settee - named for an Atlanta neighborhood (site of estate sale where it was purchased)!
