A Touch of Texas

Inspired by some furniture we saw in antique shops in Carmine, we decided to recover these barstools that John built for us back in the day when we lived in Vicksburg...yeah, waaayyyy back in the day. We asked at a local shop that carries real cowhide and just to buy a piece big enough to do these would have been $100, no labor included. I came home and found some faux cowhide for $25 a yard including tax and shipping, so I ordered that instead. Probably a good decision in the end as I think getting real hide on these would have been quite a wrestling match.
