235325Hi, I have a 70s Danish wood and leather recliner. The steam bentwood frame has started to split on the curved joints.
I am an amateur and are unsure which glue would be best to try to repair, the glue needs to allow for the wood to remain flexible:

Forget it mate you are not going to save that....well not with glue anyway.

If you like the chair and you want to "repair it".

Go to IKEA and buy a "spoang" armchair.....nearly identical and transfer the upholstery onto that.

BTW that is not steam bent it is laminated.

cheers
