Broken Seat

The drivers seat recently gave way on the Litchfield so I decided to remove it this afternoon to see what could be done to fix it.

Seems it is a lost cause as it is riddled with woodworm and will need to be completely replaced. Even the covering on the back of the seat has lots of small holes where the woodworm have escaped from. Looks like a crash course in woodwork & upholstery is in order to build a new chair. Anyone know what the original wood would have been, Ash or Beech maybe ?
