Antique Chair, part 3

There is even a chunk missing on the inside of the side rail. I have applied the wood filler to the top and bottom of the side and back rails. The front rail was in good enough shape to not have to fill. After I spread the filler, I wet my fingers and smooth out the filler. By doing this it tends to make the filler soak down into the cracks and old nail holes. Set the chair aside and let it dry. Wipe off any excess filler from the chair. more to come.....
