This Stannard wind chime was not in too bad of shape for the shape it was in. What I did was to dis-assemble completely,

removed the wire nails and drilled a hole pattern to re-assemble.

Next all wood parts were sanded down and totally re-stained and two coats of spar-urethane.

                                                                                                 Just like new again!

              

 

                                                                  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A customer sent these five chimes in to be totally re-furbished,

this is the first five chimes of thirty wind chimes in her collection.
