Wood Canvas Chairs finished

[Robin]

I just finished sewing up replacement canvas for a couple of wooden/canvas chairs given to me by a good friend.
I used some left over #12 canvas from a previous canoe restoration

I think they will go good with my canvas wall tent, wood canvas canoe and of course my experimental "wood canvas cold handle frying pan" next week.

looks great!

Really nice. You'll need more hooks for hanging those folding chairs up in the wall tent, right along side your kitchen gear.

Nice work Robin. They went to the right place.

Just be sure to remind your wife that you can't do button holes or hems. No sense letting her add to your honey-do list.

Restoring old equipment is a lot of fun.

Nice job Robin.

 

[Muskrat]

Looks good Robin.

HaHa! Good point, she was watching me and I think she was getting some ideas about new curtains.

Canvas curtains hung on old thwarts for curtain rods. That's my decorating tip of the day.

That would be a great set of shop curtains!

Is the canvas stapled to the wood or looped or tied under? Looks nice!

Robin , those chairs will add just that extra comfort & atmosphere to future trips much better than furniture that makes you look like You just stepped out of a jetson's cartoon.

You should get years of comfort and enjoyment out of those chairs. Nothing like being up off the cold damp ground as we age; at least I'll speak for myself. I'm sure you'll enjoy many a hot cup of coffee from these in the years to come. Enjoy!

Until next time...be well.

Stapled, lots of staples. Then I went over the staples with a light tack hammer with a brass clinching block underneath to get em tight.

Yea, those new lightweight seats do look like spaceage moon chairs..haha

I'm hoping to be sipping coffee while I sit in one next week, stoking the wood stove out there on Low Lake.

Robin, I was almost certain one of those was for my birthday but it hasn't shown up yet.

HaHa, We would look good sitting around the campfire in them, two oldies telling stories and looking very relaxed in our wood canvas chairs.
