I think it would have to be stiff? Does the sanding take care of that??? Would you sit in it naked? :)<br /><br />thanks!Nancy-loodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290731869643071134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-91227300460061373192013-08-05T16:38:49.167-07:002013-08-05T16:38:49.167-07:00Your chair looks fabulous!
