Well gang, does he look happier now that his splat has been stabilized? There are no other changes, I love the worn finish just the way it is. Ol' Green Man still groans, but not quite as loudly now. In addition to the reglue to the splat, the whole seat cracked through at some point, but it was reglued and the repair is solid. It is really too bad that this rocker had such a hard life, it's a beautiful old thing. I will give him an easy retirement, rocking me through my coffee in the morning.
