<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 974219, member: 738"]I'm curious to see the underside. If it has drilled holes, it was hand-caned, but I would not expect that from this factory mass-manufactured chair. More likely, if you carefully lift a corner of the leather seat, you may find a routed channel underneath to accommodate a piece of machine-caning, long blown-out by use. </p><p>I would recommend some experimental re-amalgamation to clear up that muddy finish and allow the beauty of the wood grain to glow again. There may be some oak under that, I think I am seeing ash grain in spots. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie26" alt=":bored:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
