Welcome Charlie,

And I'd love to hear some more about this:

I recently picked up a nice chair that looks quite old with a damaged woven 
seat that looks like it is made of woven wood.  What sorts of species did 
people use and is there any way to tell by looking what I've got? The chair 
has a slat back which is pegged together so I'm guessing it is from the mid 
to late 1800s.  If I were to want to do a repair is there anything to watch 
out for?

I'm not actually ready to get to this project yet, but the chair was six 
bucks at a garage sale and obviously a nice bit of work.

Thanks and welcome again!
