The chair as received.  Solid walnut with lacquer finish perhaps 50 years old.

Here we begin wrapping the rush work by covering the corners tightly with painter's blue tape.

The rush work has been completed covered to protect it from stripping fluid, stain and finish.

The finish has now been removed and the surface of the chair steel wooled and than lightly sanded.

This image shows the rocker stained with a light walnut aniline dye and a sealer coat of urethane.
