254 Restoration and Upholstery of Oak Rocking Chair

Rocking Chair Restoration. Today we restore an old Mission Style oak rocker. The chair had obviously been recovered several times, so the wood frame was in poor condition. Much of the bottom of the wood frame needed to be repaired or replaced before the seat could be re-sprung. Additionally, one of the arms was broken from the frame because the wood around the wood screw was stripped out. I relined the screw hole with epoxy and added a longer screw.
With the upgrades in the frame structure, the upholstery part of the job went off without incident. The seat was re-stretched with new webbing; new heavier springs were added, and the springs were properly tied. The seat was upholstered using traditional cotton, burlap, and wood wool (excelsior). However, due to the condition of parts of the frame, upholstery tacks were used somewhat sparingly.
