Chest Nut
I picked up a beautiful ogilvy recently. Everything about it is great except the seats.....

Instead of cane, there is what looks like rawhide (similar to wooden showshoes) use as lacing. Would this have possiblycome from the factory like this (Oromocto vintage Chestnut... so I figure they were trying to save $).
All the wood matches, the seat frames look original to the canoe. There are no holes in the frame to suggest previous caneing.
thanks
