Danish cording on these chairs?  

I'm not experienced in restoring these types of furnishings. I've just done the 4 Moller chairs and really enjoyed learning how to do the weave. I went back and redid the first chair since I improved as I went further into the project. However, it's not something I'm aspiring to do as a business. Over here in the Netherlands the market is saturated with MCM buyers/dealers and I find it very difficult to get around them. In fact I'm finding it nearly impossible to sell anything over here for a decent price via non-dealer-centric websites.
Regarding the chair debacle - I've spoken to the person and the chairs are out. I sent her links to several different Moller and Wegner chairs for sale in various states and price-points so that is a closed case.
She still wants me to do the trolley that I posted pics of above in the thread (speaking about the bottom where these 2 trays are sitting). She wants to remove the trays and convert the rack that holds them to a woven shelf. .......................................................I admire her imagination................................................................. 🙂
As a glutton for punishment, I think it should be doable to glue a thick hardwood base along the inside of the 4 horizontal slats - thereby eliminating the need to nail into the delicate wood. Since you wouldn't see the bottom-side I don't think it would be an issue to do this... plus it's not a seat so won't have to sustain the weight of a human body.
So - I'm looking at this as a one-off request by a friend-of-a-friend and I have suggested a rate for 2 days of work, plus cost for the materials and VAT on top.
I've also told her that I've checked with a local professional and my forum and both have poo-pood the idea. I said that it might not work, that it might end in a disaster and that I can't guarantee anything but I can try. Even with my foreboding reply she still seems keen to move forward.
It would be a fun challenge I think. (and maybe a horrible learning experience?) But then I seem to get myself into these situations and there's that glutton for punishment thing.
Hey if I do it, either way, I'll let you all know how it goes! (So please wish me luck whilst wagging your fingers at me in disapproval!)

What about making an entirely separate "tray" consisting of a hardwood frame with woven cord? You can skip the nail issue and just wrap the warp strands completely around the frame instead of hooking them on an L nail inside the frame. There are slight differences in the end but you can still have the same overall look and weave pattern. It could just rest on the rails of the trolley and would be a completely reversible alteration---just lift it out and put the teak trays back in place.
I don't know how it would look aesthetically but you'd have to balance that out with the pluses, I guess.
Here are some photos of the weaving method I'm talking about. You can probably get the open-weave sides a little narrower without causing too much problem but that would depend on how thin the side rails are. I don't know anything about determining how strong a frame you would need for the amount of tension exerted by the weaving as you pull it taut---not as much as for a chair seat frame, though, I'm sure.
As for weaving in general---the chair you showed way up above looks pretty good. Instead of trying to compete with other dealers to buy chairs to redo and sell (if that's what you meant?), why not think about offering your services to them to restore chairs with woven seats? If you're meticulous and methodical, and you know the tricks to keeping the cord tangle-free (untangling takes a LOT of time), you can do ok. It's a thought, anyway.

Hi all, I wanted to update the outcome of the Mahjongg trolley that I corded - I was waiting for a photo from the client which I am still waiting for so I just wanted to post a few of the in-process pics.
One thing - I realize that in my doing the project, I permanently altered a vintage piece, thus reducing its value and in some way I feel like I've done something wrong on that point, however, I really enjoyed the challenge, and the finished product was really so pretty that I'm glad I gave it a try.
I made 4 inserts and glued them into place, which did the trick in terms of getting it strong enough. The owner is currently using it as a show piece and stacks dishes and decorative items on it and said it's very sturdy and is exactly what she wanted.
I think the woven shelf is gorgeous, and commend the insanity of the stylist who asked for it.

Hey, it looks good!
