Informational and Fun Upholstery Photos!
I created this page just for fun and informational purposes. It includes upholstery photos of some of the more unique pieces of furniture I've built or recovered that you might like to see.
I'd also like to show you the difference between the furniture you buy now at your local store and how a good piece of furniture is built and upholstered. Of course, this is only my professional opinion. Every Upholsterer has their own style.
I hope you find this interesting and useful. I would love to hear your comments, questions, or whatever on the
upholstery photos.
If you'd like to see more, just let me know, my portfolio awaits publication on the internet.

Diamond Tufted Carriage Seat
This is a display chair I built to show how the frame is constructed, spring placement, and padding. The typical chair you buy today is made out of plywood and cardboard.
This is a Bavarian Settee I will be doing soon. Late 1800's and it will be forsale when I'm done.
New frame I built with coil springs.

Notice the Zebra mane is down the back of the recliner.
This was fun. I actually learned from an 86 year old man, how to refabric a plane.
