100 year old chair legs
A great uncle made this chair when he was in high school almost 100 years ago. It needs new seat webbing and upholstery, but I was also curious if there is anything we should do to fix the finish where it has worn off and raw wood is exposed. I think the wood might be birch.
I am new to furniture restoration (only refinished one table and reupholstered seats). Should I sand down the whole piece and refinish it to protect the wood? Or leave it as is?
It has been sitting in my basement for years because I am not sure how to fix it, and I want to do it well. Any advice is appreciated!
