<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 185645, member: 37"]This is what I would call a platform glider-rocker. When I think glider, I envision the big sofa gliders out on the porch. I don't imagine this was very old when put out in the barn in the 60s. The style is colonial and the wood is oak. Your sinuous spring seat (Are you missing one? The spacing looks off) had a decking that usually consisted of a fiber mat about 3/4" thick. Depending on how dense the fiber, it may have been backed with canvas. Most likely on top of that would be a layer of foam.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
