I know my limitations! I cant even wrap a Christmas present, so I'm going to leave this to the professionals. There is a old boy in a neighboring town who has been doing upholstery work for longer than I have been alive. He did the seats for our dining room chairs and I will have him do the morris chair as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 Chair and ottoman are finished! Took the chair down to a upholstery shop, the same guy who did the seats on my dining chairs. He was excellent! Took time to web the seat frame while I was there and fitted the pads in the cushions. He has been doing this type of work for 45 years and was so helpful! Took Courtney and the girls along to help pick out the fabric. Decided on a leather looking product that he recommended with a reddish brown color. Will post a picture when the seats come in. This project kinda took me by surprise with the level of difficulty. Looking at it initially seemed straight forward and not to involved. Boy was I wrong! By no means is it perfect but I’m happy with the results. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 That’s beautiful Jamie! Can’t wait to see the cushions. I can see a side table to hold a cold drink as your next project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Great work Jamie. I like that you did pyramids on you front leg tenons. That's a detail that really adds to the quality of workmanship. 1 Quote "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." - Epicurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
