#1 | | WIP - Chair Finished Name: Tom City: Clayton State: NC County: Johnston Join Date: May 2006  05-26-2009, 04:41 PM
Finally finished the chair and moved it into the house. I sprayed 5 coats of polycrylic on it for final finish. I'm going to let it sit awhile and then do a final super fine sand on it. The cushions were made by Mark at AFC Upholstery in Raleigh. It's very comfortable.

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

Thanks for all the nice compliments. Dave, I didn't make the other chair. The experience of buying that chair made for making this one. IIRC we paid about $1400 for that chair. We wanted another chair for here, and mine wasn't near that much $$$ and I had fun making it.
The arms are 3 pieces glued together over a form. All white oak.
Thanks again!!
Tom
