    Good point, Mel. I looked at other reproductions that were more....severe? They were reportedly uncomfortable to sit in for long periods, and I want mine to be used, so I stuffed it to a good degree (I stuffed them to the same degree as the couple tutorials I was following). I do wonder how much the originals have settled (i.e., perhaps they look flatter because the material has settled)...do you have any insights into that? Next time I'm looking at originals, it's another detail to take note of and maybe probe the docents on.

    Beautiful work, Mark! You're more courageous than I. It's like scaling to the top of El Cap the first try. Congratulations!
