I used them a couple of years ago for a desk chair
mechanism. They may have what you're after.

Mission style chairs weren't recliners in the new sense.
Morris chairs had reclining backs but were manually
positioned while standing behind the chair.
But, if you must, become an upholstery shop and try

Thanks for your help,
It looks like Hickory will do the job.
I have also looked at Morris chairs, I guess I would call mine a mondernized
Morris with a Mission theme.
I think the shipping on a 5$ Salivation Army chair might be a bit high,
Sorry.
Thanks agiain,
Ron

Try a Google search and you should find a few. I looked quickly and a
couple possibilities showed up.

The hickorysprings sits looked most promising.
Otherwise you might keep your eyes open for a used recliner. I would
imagine that some of the used recliners go pretty cheap.

What's a "Mission Style recliner" ? A Morris ?
There is no mechanism - you make it all from wood. 5 minutes of
turning gives you a couple of removable pegs, and these go into a
series of holes in the side of the arm with the back resting upon
them.
