Old into new

I GOT THIS BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE CRAFTSMAN ROCKING CHAIR FROM MY SISTER!
**Double click on the pictures to enlarge**
after much elbow grease and refinisher, it looked like this.

With these tools I began to take off the leather,tacks and
Several layers of burlap and some kind of straw-like substance.

the chair had a nice set of springs in pretty good shape.
check out the 100 yrs. of dust!!!

I was very pleased to find out that there were finished slats
in the back! I will not cover over those.
I'll be back with more !
