Looking for help on building a cushion for this Stickley Brothers (Quaint) rocker or simply one that has slats like this one. I have an idea on how to make it, but just want to see if anyone has this type of chair and can offer assistance.

I found DIY Upholstery supply (See links below video) that has much of what I need to make this, but if you have a favorite please let me know.

 The coil spring frame on this Quaint rocker are incorrect. It doesn't go back far enough and the coil springs in the center bend down and touch the wood slats on the bottom. would love to see an original for a chair or rocker with slats so that I can re-create properly. I'll also have to figure out the back, but thinking that's just cotton. If anyone has info. on this chair please let me know. Thanks.

Since finding more Quaint furniture, I've been spending time watching upholstery videos and came across a real gem. Buckminster Upholstery. I had no idea just how much craftsmanship went into their work. If you live in Kansas, it looks like he has classes

Found this beautiful Stickley chair for 15 bucks. Just needs a new leather seat and some fill for cushion. Anyone know of a good leather supplier for this kind of work?
