I'd like to think that the original maker is smiling,
proud because his work was worth saving, and
appreciative of the effort you made, skillfully,
Thank you for passing on some of your experiences.

I appreciate your comments. BTW I forgot to say that I used some of that
hot hide glue(my first experience with that adhesive) to put the thing back
together. I think the stuff has a lot of merit. Certainly it is much
easier than Titebond or similar aliphatics to clean up and stain. The chair
is probably the most uncomfortable I've set in since I was an alter boy and
had to sit in on of those ornate, butt numbing, wooden thrones while
enduring the homily. I'll take Joat's advice and use a cushion next time.
