Hi everyone
My names Bronte, I've recently purchased an Edwardian couch suite that I have begun to refurbish in this most recent lockdown. I have ZERO woodworking experience, except that of a pencil box made in Woodwork, Yr 8 (proud stuff). Here looking for some industry guidance to learn and prevent any screw-ups on this beautiful 3 piece. Hopefully this is the right place for a beginner!
Speak to you all soon!
Bronte

These are durags, perhaps you meant Dharug?

Thanks for your welcome, however there are multiple ways of spelling the word Durag, like Dhurag. Neither of us are wrong.

I got a bit confused with the region? A traditional land? Millinery? ( It doesn't take much to confuse me.)
However, welcome.
It helps enormously to have pictures of your project as it gives us an idea of how people on the Forum can help and also what you are up against. So perhaps you could post a few shots. It also is a good record of before and after.
Regards
