upholstered chair repair?

[RobS.]

We have a winged back upholstered chair with a broken front leg. The leg splintered too badly to repair it. It will need to be replaced. Not sure what kind of wood it is - hardwood with stain. Anyone here willing to tackle it? The upholstery will have to be loosened and pulled back out of the way and both front legs will likely need to be changed out so that they match.

Or should I contact an upholstery shop? I doubt they would fix the leg. I thought about doing it myself but it was a nice chair and I like for it to be nice again.

Michael Shelly (mshel) in Wilson does furniture restoration. He could probably help. You could shoot him a PM.
