Repairing Wooden Fish

In this restoration example we repaired a wooden fish sculpture. One of the fins of the sculpture had been partially snapped as evident in the before photos below. This particular wood was very "springy" meaning we had to leverage very strong glue and other techniques to ensure that the fin would completely stay in place and that the fixture line would not be evident after restoration.
