Looks great. What are you going to use for the cushions? I built one a few years ago. It was a fun project. It will make you appreciate a Morticer. | |

ACME Furniture in Raleigh is going to do it in leather (chocolate) and he suggested foam and webbing-no springs. I will be building a foot rest as well.
This was the most difficult thing I have built so far but I enjoyed the challange.
Thanks,
David | |

That, Sir, is a chair! But please, details. Details! Material, construction, finish, a picture is worth a 1,000 words, but so are a 1,000 words!
Outstanding work. That's the kind of chair in which you can relax, read a good book, or write your memoirs.

BAS:
It is cherry with a poly and wax finish. The construction was assisted with the Domino and the lower thru tenons are fakes (and were probably more difficult to make than the real thing because of the way they are mortised in). The top tenons in the arms are real and that is where a lot of time was spent. I altered the Stickly design by using vertical back rails instead of steam bent wood-not gonna steam bend unless I build a wooden ship on day.
It was fun (at times) and there was plenty of finish time involved.
I will probably never build another one.

Glad you posted this. I was impressed when I saw it in person. I think a close-up of the front of the armrest with the tenon would really show the detail as well as the beautiful finish you created.

David,
It looks great, where are you going to use it. I thought that you previously said that your bed room was mission style. Anyway, finish the ottoman and really start enjoying it.
Or did I get it wrong, and it's really your new shop stool  .

It will be in the bedroom

Thanks,

David, that's an awesome chair, I bet it will be mighty comfortable once you get the seat upholstered. Is the back crest rail curved, or is it just a trick of the camera?

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