How do I replace a worn rope seat of an OLD ladderback chair?
+4
It belonged to my grandparents. It is a straight wooden ladderback which had the seat made of rope which was woven into a solid surface. I would like to replace it with a padded, wooden seat.

I believe you are speaking of a rush seat. Here's a video showing just how to reweave a new seat. http://www.borissmirnov.com/wp-content/uploads/ori-set-stickley-ladder-back-chairs.jpg

Not sure of your chair design, but I think you could make a wood base by cutting half circles out to accommodate where the legs come up. Then upholster that seat. It would basically sit (be attached) on top of the side pieces where the rope was looped around.

Thank you, Becky, for the video, however, I did mean "rope". Grandpa was a cowboy who put seat in and used what he had. M'sMammy...I like your idea and will give it a try. Thhaniks!
