Thanks for the comment Munchy

Thanks Tim
I was thinking at first to pin this one using small dowels but decided to glue it with PVA and see what happens and yes the wood leather combination is something that works for me .
L?W
Yes it was finished in one morning except the bending which I did a week ago and let it dry out for a bit .
Grizz
I did not use a steamer for this ,just let it soak in warm water and fabric softener for an hour and then heated it with a hot air gun and used the bottom (two) as a form and let it sit for a few days .
