In our new video https://youtu.be/8pjkUFHW5d8 I tackle this worn out, old rocking chair. It had a few bad repairs to it over the years. To repair it properly I had to patch in a new piece of wood and replace many broken dowels. The seat was previously hand-woven cane. Laurie had a professional caner give us a quote so the customer could decide if they wanted it cane or upholstered... watch the video so see what happened. Enjoy!
