Porch Rocker with a 1/4 Flat Oval reed seat
1/4 " Flat Oval Reed Seat
I cut it out with heavy scissors
I use 5gal. paint sticks to allow me the give I need for shrinkage. I ran a separate strand of reed down one side to fill in the gaps left by going back & forth and only being able to wrap the one side
I measured the front 18 1/2"and back rail 15 1/2" subtracted the two came up with the overage 3" of the front rail divided that in half 1 1/2 and marked the side rails. I should probably start in the middle but, HEY it's going to look the same anyway.
Wove the reed from one pencil mark to the other. Now all I have to do is fill in the sides.
One side done
Finished chair.
I like my chairs to look as good on the bottom as they do on top.....
