Hey Friends,
Just one picture for now. I found it interesting that in addition to
the plywood, the factory used just any wood they had for the seat
base. In this picture you can see that two thirds of the seat's
support frame is pine, or some other white wood, while one side of the
support is mahogany! Its just a cool quirk of the time. They used what
they had. Kinda makes one think that the white wood may be cut from
left-over pallets. Certainly looks like it.

The glossiness is from the wood hardener, still wet in this flash picture.
