How about using a beautiful upholstery instead of leather? Do you have the circle for the first chair to put the leather on? I have recovered several seats, and it is very easy. Those studs are beautiful. I have never used them. I use a staple gun. It's all in how you wrap the uphostery around the chair bottom so that it lays nicely on top.
It is a beautiful gift for your Mom! You are such a good daughter.

Thanks Judy!
I asked about the seat and she has nothing from it. She said her dad started refinishing the chair 40 years ago and he never got around to working on the seat and I guess it's all been lost since then.

Okay so instead of going the route of trying to find a new seat for that chair, I came across an ad for an antique bentwood rocking chair and I bought it. It has caning on the seat and back. The ad said antique but I have to say I don't think it is. I asked if she knew how old the chair was and she said she wasn't sure. Then when we went to look at it she said "I don't have the receipt anymore"
 BUT it looks nice, it's comfortable, and I think it would go well in the cabin. Plus I think they look neat  I hope my mom likes it!

I used to have a bentwood rocker. They're from about 1970's to early 1980's. So it's old but not antique.
