<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 416549, member: 50&quot;]I have a host of ladder back chairs, mostly new-ish. This one, however, is older and once upon a time I posted it in the eBay discussion boards though can&#039;t find any sign of that old post.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, this came from a country auction in Virginia. It had damage to the front of the rushing and the front seat rail/stretcher was broken. I love this chair and in this old photo you can see the clamp where I glued the split in the wood then I wrapped it in wire. I did a repair to the rush with some glue (it actually looked kind of ok). Anyway eventually the rail broke again and the chair has been sitting in the garage.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m wondering is if I can drill the legs and insert a rod behind/under(?) the old rail or is there another solution short of tearing it apart.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any idea of age, location etc? I think 19th C was a general suggestion last time.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]145271[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]145272[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]145273[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]145274[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]145275[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]145276[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]145277[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
