This love seat and chair set in units sure got some age to them.
The longer bench was totally warped out and the owner re-made another and set the springs in also.
Sure did a nice job.
Old timers deserve traditional build up as much as practical.
Hand sewn the front lines to the spring rail.
This 3/4 inch decking pad sure smooths out the spring base for a smooth sitting experience.
And hand sewn around all 4 sides of both bases.
I "know a guy" that supplies me with the cleanest cotton batting around!
The right amount is key to this job coming out beyond criticism.
The front lines set strait without any waves.
The corners nice and full, with no scalloping.
Upholstery is such an inexact science.
Sure did some head work to get the design cuts right so they are looking sharp for years to come.
The seam in the back, exactly in the center.
And the front line crisp and strait as possible.
And "topped off" with cleanly set dust covers.
And after a good inspection, a nice wrap to protect, until these pieces rejoin the main frames.
Thanks for looking!
