As we get ready to finish up 0579, we need to come up with cushions for the bunks and seats. What were these originally made out of ? The pictures I have appear to use leather over some kind of animal based padding (horse hair?). Most restorations I have seen used something synthetic over foam. Much more practical, but I realized this doesn't help anybody understand what these were originally like.
Anybody have any comments ? I doubt my daughter would appreicate me using horsehair from her horse.
