THE Leather Chair

         So I almost gave Rob a heart attack a few months ago when I pulled out three full cow hides to reupholster a chair. No, I have never reupholstered anything in my life; and yes, I am a bit crazy for starting out with leather. The biggest problem has been covering the buttons. I accidentally bought 4-5 ounce leather which is much thicker than standard upholstery leather. I sent some leather into a button maker but alas, they said it was too thick! Finally, Rob had the idea that we could grind the leather down with a Dremel and it worked! Pictures show the work in progress and I will update it when the chair is complete (which will hopefully be soon!).
