Miniture Newton globe

A new miniature globe in need of restoration. It will be stopped of old varnish, map sections replaced and hand coloured.

It will then have a coat of shellac prior to being re-lacqured

The globe has lost its accompanying lid so a new one is being constructed from beech. It will be stained and aged to match the base.

Worn map sections were replaced and hand coloured

the globe was then re-varnished

The pot was still found to be rubbing the globe in certain areas

careful sanding removed just enough to ensure no more rubbing occurred and the globe now spins freely
