I have a long standing customer that brings me stuff to redo for him from time to time. This time, he brought me a chair that belonged to his mother many decades ago. I've already redone an end table, hall table, and one other piece for him over the years. This time, this chair, he says, was chewed on by pet dogs in the family. He is asking that I fix/repair this chair as it belongs to a full dinning set that was his mothers or maybe it was his grandmothers. I can't remember. :)
Any way, here's a few pics and I'm asking what's the best way to approach remaking these pieces. BTW, I am "not" a spindle turner but a bowl and platter turner, so spindle turning these pieces is way outside my expertise.

I'm 100% sure that the 3 stretchers will need to be remade and I see that one foot needs some attention.
What do YOU say about these pieces?
