Title: Rocker
Post by: SteveA on January 02, 2015, 12:42:53 pm
My own chair - found at the curb 20 years ago - finally with these off days  re-glued + recovered it after a friend gave me a few yards of mohair - the Mrs. liked the color.  Great fabric - doesn't leave a print mark like velvet - the buttons were a pain because the fabric was thick. Sewed the seat corners - too thick to fold fabric over and pleat - added cotton + dacron over old fillings -  Still have to do some touch up on the wood - new life for an oldie but goodie - it's headed into the L/R -
the back rest is early ergonomics

Nice find Steve. Great fabric selection. I like the the scroll work on the arms.

I love that rocket. Good choice of color on the fabric.

Thanks for the nice words - I rushed the back and instead of putting curve edge or a gimp I just cut some 3/4 wide fabric with the razor and hot glued it on.  The edges are a little rough - lucky it's not a customers chair.
