Perhaps this is a less controversial type of filler than the kind given by dermatologists. Above, as reported by Treaure Hunt, an antique torchere at Saltram, in Devon, receives a restorative treatment injected into the woodworm holes. A conservator at the workshop of Tankerdale Ltd. administers the shots. Click here for the full story.

I went to Emile's post, fascinating to see the restoration process. Treasure Hunt is a treasure.

Wow, who knew!! The image and title of this post got my attention. :) Thanks for the information!
Very interesting...thank you for sharing.

I couldn't help myself :) Ads for facial fillers are everywhere in the U.S. and I couldn't shake the comparison. But also I love conservation and was fascinated by the delicate needle!
LOL! these injections are certainly Hollywood approved. what an interesting idea.
