<p>[QUOTE="drkstr22, post: 191565, member: 3499"]What a difference a few days makes! I Stripped the rest of the backing off it. Cleaned it up with some Murphys and give Her 3 coats if tung oil and 2 coats of paste wax What a difference!She came out perfect! I was able to keep the patina and imperfections on it while cleaning her up and making her shiny again. I found out from Brumby the the original seat and backing was a flat reed in a herringbone pattern. Naturally I want her to be as close to original as possible. that is next weekends project! .....a week ago I knew nothing about any if this! Thanks to some awesome advice from the people on this board and some internet research I have gotten her this far. I will be sure to follow up next weekend when she is completed.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]54106[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54107[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54108[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54109[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54110[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
