A New Life for some Vintage Camping Chairs

I found a pair of vintage camping chairs.  I am not sure how old they are.  One person said 1940's; all I know is they needed some new life.  The material was dry rotted.

 First I took the fabric off and wiped the wood with Old English.

What a difference it made to the wood!

 I had some neat, heavy ticking fabric that I thought would look very vintage.  I measured, cut, and sewed it to the proper length.

 My son helped me stretch the fabric and tack it to the chair.  

The wood on this chair is very strong; I could not staple it the way they had attached the original fabric.

 I do like the tacks with the dark wood.

 Ahh!  New Life!

What a great pair!
