Probably about 10-15 BF 8/4 and 30-40 BF 4/4. Here's a decent plan to get you started - http://www.popularwoodworking.com/pr.../?planid=11097

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

They are at least 100 BF each and you need to make at least 12 of them

Actually, I was contemplating this chair & ottoman. Says it is a Mission Chair as opposed to a Morris Chair.
No plans, just the picture.

Jim, There is a very good article and plans in the August 1993 issue of "Fine WoodWorking", issue no. 101. Here is a picture of my version that I built based on the article. Lots of fun to build and lots of joinery. One of the most enjoyable pieces I have made to date.
