Have a handmade maple rocking chair with the middle webbed and springed (so you put a large cushion on top). I'd like to replace the webbing and respring it ... or would it be easier to just put a piece of wood in its place? Duct tape is not an answer for everything!

Best option is to take the chair to an upholstry shop and have them at least redo the spring section. I would also have them install the webbing. You will then be ready to put new fabric on the chair cushion yourself.
Good luck with your project.

The webbing can be brought at most hardware stores, it should be like the stuff you use to repair lawn chairs and should come in rolls. Replacing the springs is trickier. You might try a furniture restoration shop for that.
