An Odd Couple

I gave the camera a rest while giving my attention to this classic Martha Washington chair.
Here are some completed pics.
 The weave of the fabric kept nice and strait, with no waves and set tight like a drum on the base.
 The maker of the frame spent extra time on the contours.
I keep the lines sharp and crisp so to appreciate the wood craftsmanship.

 The double piping really helps trim this piece up nicely.
There is a delicate balance of just the right amount of hot melt glue to use behind the double piping.
 Setting the piping for the outside back nice and proud.
 And the arm cuts clean with no extra fluttering as it flows to the bottom of the base.

 No puckers on the inside arm cuts.





 This frame when originally created was made using great craftsmanship and top notch quality materials and should last a couple hundred years or more with proper maintenence.

Let's take this dust cover off and take some pics.
 This french provincial's rally got a nice height and base width.
 The horse hair hand sewn nosing was too proud for this fabric.
I trimmed off at least a half full inch if not a little more to smooth out the look per owners request..
 This micro suede really leaves no room for error when tailoring it up.
 And a 4 sided hand sewn in base.
 Ready to serve.
Thanks for looking!
