Naw, we didnt fix it up for sale but for home use.  We'll be more careful
with the exterior of the 'side-by-side' as it has an aged patina we do not
want to destroy.  We'll have to refinish some of it though as it got paint
splattered sometime in the past.

Like Roscoe.  Perfect pedigree but smaller and 'not to be bred' as he had
medical issues due to too much inbreeding.  Lovely spunky fellow though!

Yes, a thick brocade is what is in mind.  I need about 1/3 yard but will have
to get more as the bolt size will give more.  (basically I need a square
about 14"x12").  Foam of a FIRM type may work for the padding. The design of
the chair means it has a raised platform with edges (we had to replace the
platform and we tooled the edges down so they slope a bit).

No problem!  I use them lots of ways.  Mostly though as crunchy accents added
at last minute to a noodle dish.  Think of them as a bit like a crunchy
shrimpy crouton (grin).
