Tall wing back

This solid hardwood wing back from the 1970's needs some attention.
 Nice tall thin back with a base designed for a skirt.
 LOTS of staples removed.
 Below shows the tailored skirt ready for attachment.
 I thickened up the pleats for a rich full pleated look.
 I'll hang this on the ceiling beam until its time.
 The arm tops needed some extra padding.
 The inside back needed some extra padding.
Two full rich coats of fresh cotton with some extra in the lumbar region.
 And the frame complete.
With the outside arms wings and back, backed and lined with a thin coat of cotton.
Close up of the skirt attached and tailored.

And the completed seat cushion.
The foam was steamed back to original shape.
Zipper slide pockets included of course.
And wrapped and glued poly wrap on the cushion before packing.
Chair sure looks nice on night display.
 
And the finished piece.
Thanks for looking!
