My wheel back dining chair seat has disintegrated (no corpulence
aspersions please). The puzzle is what was the original material.
The appearance is a thin version of hardboard!

Plenty of chair webbing and instructions on the web but I think cutting
and re-nailing sheet material looks easier.

Could it have been Elephant hide? Chair age unknown but possibly
Edwardian.
