Question
I just ran across your need for old bed springs from 2008!  Did you find what you need for your antique bed?  I have some springs that were my parents for as long as I can remember (they passed away 35 years ago)but had to finally go to the traditional springs/mattress on their bed we have in our guest room. Would love to give them to someone who could use them if you haven't.  Thanks.

Answer
Hi Carol
How nice of you to make this offer.
Actually it was a questioner of mine who wanted the springs and I have no way of contacting her now.
If you could resend this question just as it is, I will post it over in the question pool.
Many thanks for your kindness.
Regards
Eileen

Expertise

I can answer most questions about the repairing and refinishing of all your old furniture items (the things we call antiques). I can also give you advice on what wood items to choose and what wood items to avoid at auctions, flea markets etc. I DO NOT give appraisals on antiques as this is not my field of expertise.

Experience

I have been repairing, refinishing and of course buying old furniture for the past 30 years. On any given weekend I can be found at auction sales or flea markets searching out a good buy. I have taken several courses in this area over the years, but I find "Hands On" learning to be the best teacher. I can help you avoid the pitfalls and problems of this wonderful rewarding craft.
