Maybe years ago they used canvas but these come from the factory with glass. They use the 4oz glass to save weight because there is the whole rib structure inside. I’ve repaired and maintained quite a few of them. Jim

Varnish is what you want but it looks like the glass is worn through in a couple spots, if my reading of the photos is correct you need to patch those first. I think 4 oz glass is what they use. Jim

Nice thread, not sure how I missed it originally. That is a beautiful shave horse. Jim

Yes the unhemmed pair was the right choice for you Alan. Jim

They were waiting for you. Pm me your address and I’ll get them in the mail. Sane as before, reimburse me the shipping and make a donation to canoetripping or an animal shelter. Jim
