Only a small amount of the yellow remains, peaking out from under the brown on the heavily worn seat.

The brown paint has developed a wonderful alligatored and crazed surface.

I make no claims of being a wood expert, but I believe at least the hoop is hickory.

Carved details in hoop and seat.

The bamboo turned legs remain their original, full length - not cut down.
