Duane.
Thanks for the tip on the finish. The piece measures 40" long and is made of very light yellow pine. It was attached to the chair with three 2" long nails. it had about 3/4" thick padding behind the fabric. Here are a couple pics of how the fabric was attached.

The backrest was attached to the chair 1 1/2" down from the top and 3 1/2" up from the seat. Hear is a shot of the backrest with the fabric removed and a cross section I drew up. I hope this helps out.
