Now they are finished

It warmed up enough yesterday for me to put the side pieces back on the Hitchcock chairs. The pieces were quite badly damaged by over enthusiastic nailers, and they took quite a bit of repair. I replaced the original nails with panel nails which hold better and there is no need to put 15 nails in a side piece, which is what I found in one of them.

I do still need to shellac the rush and replace the Hitchcock front, back and side pieces.

Metal Bar Stools

A friend brought me 2 of these. I've never done wicker. Anybody have an idea on what this pattern is and how to do it? I can see that the material is round reed and the pattern is a variation on the porch weave.
