Well, it's 95% done. Just need to find the correct casters to use and maybe paint the adjusting bar black. The upholstery came out very nice, she did a great job, (if you live around NH and I will give you her info, very well priced!). Comfortable too! A couple of before and after pics.

Sweet Streit, LOL

Looks very nice. What did you do to the frame? ...looks like a little colour touch up and wax maybe?

When I got the chair it had an awful yellow flaky haze all over. Stripped that off, probably was old original shellac.
Didn't touch up color at all! Just a very light coat of wax to seal it and that's it.
