Oldgits new seats.

[oldgit]

A forumite was kind enough to gift his redundant helm seat to oldgits chair-ity project AKA
Sarah T.

This unfortunately lead to more blimming expense in finding a seat to match.After much rummaging managed to find a company to produce this

Made up to my measurements and as close as we could get in fabric/style to match other seat.
nice sturdy job and dead pleased with result.
Total cost £170.00.

Nar - it's a binacacle with a compass (?compasses) attached.

Lovely bit of wood and polished brass, though.
