[QUOTE="Manpa, post: 484211, member: 11747"] Pulling apart a Carver Chair which is over 150 years old and sanding it all back for re-assembly, it was my great grandfathers. Having to treat it very carefully, very fine tolerances in many of the joints, lots of curved rails and stiles. Looks like they used old pearl glue. It even has one side rail covered in dog teeth marks, it looks like his old collie must have enjoyed a chew on it at some stage, going to leave the rail as is, gives the chair even more character. I'll be reupholstering the seat but using leather or vinyl rather than cloth. Will post pics when finished. [/QUOTE]
