Upholstered Wood Chair
UW Madison
Wanted to replace the fabric and also make the chair standable. Started with taking off old fabric and cushioning. Cut out a new seat out of ply with the old seat as a template. Took apart all the loose joints, sanded, and reglued. Attached new seat base and added batting, fabric, and trim.

Purchased the chest, stripped the finish and stain off. Re-stained it darker and painted to look muddy. Finalized it with wooden side decals, rivets made out of gemstones, a new latch, and leather handles.

The back rest of this chair was missing. Started with taking off the top back panel, then traced a new back piece off a matching chair in stock. Handed off to a student to cut out of bendy luan and paint to match the chair. Also added a new base because the old one was cracked.
