Antique dining chairs
The hardest part of this project was cutting the
back of the chair without damaging any part of the finish. Made 3 of the back splats, then found that the arm chair back was larger, both height and width, the most challenging was all the scroll sawing and if you're not use to it, their are lots of steps using a scroll saw ( broke 5 blades) out of cutting 4 backs. The plys of the back come unglued as shown.

Nice repair Doug!
What did you replace the backs with (solid/plywood)?

Also my question, what did you replace them with? If the first pic is the "after" shot it's a bit too dark to tell. Scroll saws favor those who spend hours a week working with them. Occasional visitors usually get frustrated before they get happy.
Nice save, the restoration looks fantastic
