I'm honored you feel my work is worthy of a commission although unfortunately I have too many projects in the works, and even more planned, to be able to accommodate. Sorry! [nt]

. For those who followed my thread about removing the original wood veneer from my XJ6 and painting a burlwood finish rather than re-veneering, here's the final product! And one before photo just to show how bad the original wood actually was. ...  

Excellent job, my friend! [nt]

Thank you! [nt]

Great job. Any photo of the car? Cheers S [nt]

Thanks! It's an '86, so a series 3, purchased early last summer and turned into my current daily driver.

Like the Equaliser of i recall. Loved that car. [nt]

 
 By: Hulk : May 21st, 2020-14:59

I had to google it to see, but yes, the same model (series 3) as in The Equalizer. [nt]

Total class. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : May 21st, 2020-15:00

I agree, as is your P1800. [nt]

 
 By: Emil Wojcik : May 21st, 2020-15:47

Thanks, Emil. [nt]

Love It [nt]

Great work Emil!

And yes, the Original Wood veneer is extremely vulnerable and especially suffering from heat and sunshine. I‘m happy that I never needed to re-veneer it at my merry old 1978 XJ6... ...  

Thank you, and your car is beautify! [nt]

And I see your solar powered "waving queen" in the window. I have the same one in my garage window, a gift from one of my daughters a few years ago. LOL

LOL, yes...

 
 By: JLCman : May 22nd, 2020-04:57
...the waving Queen always lets people smile - saying bye-bye to the European Union.

Wow! I’m impressed. The only tool I know how to use is the telephone . . . to call for help:) [nt]

 
 By: edtonkin : May 21st, 2020-09:28

LOL. Thanks! I've spent my entire life working on cars, although only as a hobby, but this was a big job and just outside my normal comfort level. Still, it was worth the effort. [nt]

 
 By: Emil Wojcik : May 21st, 2020-10:54

I agree. You must get tremendous satisfaction when looking at your work. Really well done. Bravo! [nt]

 
 By: edtonkin : May 21st, 2020-13:21

Thanks again, and yes, the entire process has been very satisfying, especially the results. [nt]

 
 By: Emil Wojcik : May 21st, 2020-15:50

Looks great

Result is professional done. That job was worth of doing. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jari! [nt]

Woderful restoration Emil!! Your Jag really deserve it! Looks like real burl wood!! Amazing job you did! You are a true artist! Enjoy your beautiful car so much! Cheers! Abel [nt]

 
 By: Subexplorer : May 21st, 2020-09:37

Thanks, I have to say I even impressed myself! LOL. Although I will admit I started private art lessons at the age of eight, and spent a good part of my career doing illustrations. [nt]

 
 By: Emil Wojcik : May 21st, 2020-10:59

My big pleasure Emil! Well you have a great background to try this project and you surely did a superb job!! Big congrats and enjoy it so much! Best! Abel [nt]

Thank you. Yes, painted then varnished following an online instructional video. [nt]

 
 By: Emil Wojcik : May 21st, 2020-15:52

Can I commission you . . .

 
 By: Dr No : May 21st, 2020-16:43
. . . to paint a pool cue?

I'm honored you feel my work is worthy of a commission although unfortunately I have too many projects in the works, and even more planned, to be able to accommodate. Sorry! [nt]

Well done!

I have an old Mercedes that tortures (challenges) me in the very same way.

Thank you! I just gave my son my '94 E420 after deciding the Jag would be my daily driver. The wood in that car has just started to crack and I told him if he removes the pieces, I'll do the painting. LOL [nt]
