So when talking about seats in the 18th century chair I'm going to show you the examples that
we have here one is the splint right here there a good sturdy seat that last a very
long time. This one has ware on it and this is a type of a seat that when there is some
damage it can be they can go back to later on and repair. You can see where this is an
even somebody actually went back and put a seat where this dries out and it cracks and
you'll see there's a little bit of gap here. A good person that knows how to do this type
of workmanship can come in here and just add a piece into this splint seat without taking
the whole seat apart and doing it over. Then you would have to try to stain it down and
get it close to the original color of this splint on and this is an example of where
they kind of just made putting this splint right back together. Cause it has a nice even
weave to it and if you look your not seeing that even weave here so to be I prefer to
leave these chairs just the way they are and it doesn't bother me that there's a little
bit of evenness in the seat itself. I rather have it original if I can without changing
it but it's a personal thing there very comfortable seats and there very durable.
