<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hallingdalen, post: 10499503, member: 93477&quot;]I’ve started a careful restoration — no stripping, no sanding, just slow, deliberate revival. First, a deep clean using glycerine-based tack cleaner to lift decades of grime without disturbing the soul of the leather. Then, layer by layer, I’m feeding the hide with uncolored leather oil — and it’s drinking like it hasn’t seen moisture since Prohibition ended.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once the oil is absorbed, I follow with a rich leather balm to seal in the suppleness and protect what’s left of the original surface. I’m not trying to erase the cracks and wear — they’re part of the history — but to preserve what’s there, so the chairs can keep telling their story, just a little more comfortably.</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s a slow process. A conversation rather than a renovation. But they’re starting to respond.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pictures after third layer of oil![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
