Found this sweet 1964 Jerry Johnson sling chair for Plycraft! It needs some TLC. The frame cleaned up nicely so I'm leaving it original condition. I added wood buttons I stained, to all the screw holes that were missing them. Still need to install new hardware but that's no biggie. I'll be finding some material soon to have the sling made. Then it's hopefully off to a new home for someone. Love my job.
