8 Maple dining chairs with a twist.

Sharp oak edges on seat frames are like a knife over the years.  Inadequate stuffing allows the rush to work over that knife edge.

Here is the TWIST. Extra rung under the sides of the seats prohibited reweaving on the chair. Wood plugs over the screws must be removed and the seats taken to a frame to reweave.

Frame built to clamp into my weaving bench.

Some minor regluing. All 8 chairs had loose front rungs.

Seat re-attached to chair and maple plugs driven in and shaped with a very sharp chisel. Stain matching with stain and lacquer toner followed.

All 8 seats stuffed top and bottom with cardboard and tightly rewoven after rounding the oak frame edges. Finished with 3 coats of varnish.
