The same friend that gave me the nesting table to repair gave me a chair to take to the furniture bank. It needed some help. It had been "sitting in the attic for a while." Seat was a mess and bird poop over many spots. As an aside, I think this is the first piece I've ever worked on that had a wipe-on stain and not just a spray on toner, given the marks on the bottom of the seat base. Procedure: Take off set cushion Clean with naptha, then soap & water The finish had deteriorated around where the hands would be on the arm. This happens with exposure to body oils over time. I tried to clean up, but no luck, so It got sanded off. The upper back was salvageable with a cleaning and light sanding. Apply a coat of shellac to seal over most of the areas. Apply aerosol toner (lacquer with color in it) in dark and extra dark cherry Apply clear lacquer as a top coat Flip the top of the padding over and add several layers of polyfill padding Reupholster the top with new fabric Reattach the seat Before: Atter seat removal and sanding arms New upholstery on seat Finish repairs All done
