Plaid wingback steel bases

                                           Here is a chance to really show some tailoring skills.
The seat cushion matches at the belting and piping and flows through to the decking.

                                             Matched at the top of the inside and outside backs
               Note the vertical and horizontal matching carried throughout the outside arms and wings
                                              I sure enjoyed working this one up in june 2011.
