Round 2--Davis Chairs

Four Dining Room Chairs that need Seats Recovered:

Part I--Taking it Apart

 First time I've worked on a factory built chair seat and seen this kind of pressed wood frame and rubber webbing.

I was surprised that there was no muslin or dacron over the foam and underneath the fabric.

The problem with this webbing is that it stretched out at every staple. I think the doubled over jute webbing will stay more firm.

Until I saw the fabric off the chair, I didn't realize how worn it was.

Part II: Reconstruction

New webbing

 Added a layer of dacron

Covered in muslin

One done, three to go...

  

Last two--woohoo!
