The build quality of this chair seems better than the Plycraft one. The chair's original leather was faded, but not consistently, so I went back to my stash of barkcloth and recovered this chair too.

ReplyDeleteFun! I love the fabric.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great? I wish it was easier to find barkcloth this good. I think this was the last of J and O Fabric's supply of this color.
DeleteWow, that looks so much more fun than the standard black leather. You did a great job Uncle Atom! I wish I had your attention to detail and ability to be handy like this - your stuff always turns out great!
ReplyDeleteAw shucks MB, you could do this. I'm only intimidated by a sewing machine. I did all this with an electric staple gun.
DeleteSwanky as always! Nice job!
