Kim's mother kept this framed lithograph tucked away in a closet through his childhood, and it had missing pieces by the time it was passed on to him.
All four corners needed to be replaced. He added rosewood veneer, built up thin corners to match the original thickness, and color-matched poplar where he had no cherry. The frame was finished with lacquer, the glass cleaned inside and out, and the old cardboard replaced with acid-free backing, new screw eyes and cable.
