Here is the finished chiar shown below. The fibre was dyed to match the old remaining finish then the whole chair was clearcoated for added protection without making it appear "new".
This chair is dyed fibre in several colors. Must of the repair was around the cushion area where spokes were missing or broken. Both sides of the arms were missing braid.Picture shows repairs in place using wirecore fibre in the cushion area.
This sofa matrches the 2 chairs in the other post. Fibre wicker, the back was pushed out and broken because of frame damage. The frame was repaired, damage rewoven using wire core fibre and colored to match.
These 2 chairs are part of a set,the sofa posted above. They had a dark but unpainted finish. Both chairs needed repair at the arms and some new braiding.
Here is a porch set with new, stained splint. The back piece is a porch swing, front left a rocker, front right a chair. Woven with flat reed, stained to give an old look and clearcoated for protection.
