This is an archival picture of the furnishings from the Nebraska

State Capitol that arrived in my shop today. I have the four club

chairs, two as seen in the foreground, and two mostly hidden.

Also, mostly hidden, are two Davenports. They are much the

same as the club chairs. One was lost over the years, so under

the direction of Ron Dulas, in the Capitol's wood shop, a frame

was replicated, and I'm following suit with all aspects of the

upholstery.
 

The upholstery is detailed springing, pounds of horse hair topped

with cotton, pulled down with denim, then finished out with

leather. Seat cushions and back rests are sprung with cotton-

wrapped Marshal units... Chairs are covered in a glossy garnet

red leather, and the Davenports in dark alpine green.
 

The walnut, lathe-turned chair in the center is one of several

styles (brown, and shiny), exclusive to this building, circa 1932.

I've rebuilt approximately seventy five of these chairs.
