dURING: the puzzlement
aFTERS
Without my Dad, these would have weathered another 50 years, now they are just my kind of matchy-matchy... Upholstered with echino oilcloth from purl soho, stained in Black Japan then glossed, and wrangled back together with pursed lips, sweat and tears (surprisingly no blood!).
(repeat after me, i will never try to refurb chairs to a deadline again...)

These look fantastic! I love echino, and what a great idea to use oilcloth.
GASP! These turned out just incredible! Well done you...and Dad!
What fun! You sure gave these chairs new life!
Yay! Well done on that persistance, they look just lovely. Thank goodness for Dads I say.
They look AMAZING! You have done a mighty job (with the help of your dad - 3 cheers for dad! :) )
We have just purchased some chairs, and are toying with re-finishing them... not sure. They are black. I'll ask you for tips if we go ahead with it ;)
Wow!! Can you do lessons for mere mortals like me??
