Here is a story of an old rejected chariot wheel of a mandir. The chariot wheel was thrown in front of the mandir as they fabricated a new set of chariot wheels. The rejected chariot wheel was left in the open for almost two years weathering the rains and sun. The wood quality was good and I decided to give it a new form and fit.
Mandir authorities kindly permitted and the wheels were then shifted to my place for restoration / other use.
The wheel was cleaned, sprayed with anti termite solution. The arcs and the wooden spokes were matched and assembled. The spokes and arcs were strengthened by fixing aluminum strips.
The gaps were filled by mixing saw dust - fevicol and finished by wood filler.
The wheel was painted with primer. It was decided to paint it with oil paint instead of polishing it to give a garden table look.
The stand was made up of solid steel ms rods to give rigidity and ease of mounting. It was painted white.
The top was covered by a concentric cut glass to give a plain surface.
The table has natural axle hole which can be used to place and anchor a suitable umbrella or the place can be used to place a flower vase to decorate and make it look more elegant.
Great conservation. This is great looking garden table. Perhaps as a drawing room or dining table you might have gone for wood polish instead of white paint.
