Your chair is just outstanding!

Give us an evaluation of the comfort of your cushions. I may want to look at redoing some of my cushions.

Wonderful chair and photography. I’m in awe.

Bob -

Your chair is gorgeous! A true labor of love (and blood!). I really like the photos – very dramatic! Looking forward to the grand presentation. How exciting to go shopping for the cushions!

Wow Bob! This is just so gorgeous!

I’m concerned you’ll fall through the bottom though! (HA!) What will support the seat cushion?

They say the devil is in the details, but so is the beauty. Wonderful detailing, and clean as a whistle!

Great piece of work.

The nice thing about mosquitoes is that they don’t make you drop what you’re holding when they bite like a horsefly does!

Bob: I really like the job you are doing on that classic.
Most eople really stuggle with glue around the joints and scribe linespeaking through afterthe finish goes on.
Yours turned out just beautiful.

A credit to your craftsmanship

Bob, such a beautiful chair you should be so proud. The finish is fantastic and the special details equally so. I like the cross on the peg. Congratulations!

-- John

Thanks for the kind words all. I’m really looking forward to relaxing on it instead of relaxing working on it.

I’m thinking of trying two ways to do the seat. One, just some 3/4” plywood and mahogany box, or a mahogamy box with springs (I saved the springs from my old chair) Either box will sit on cleats (front and rear) and on the sides. They’ll both look the same, just a matter of comfort to decide.

It’s been great to follow this Bob. It’s a gorgeous chair and I’m anxiously waiting for those final pics. I might have missed a post along the way though. What was the trick with the sun?

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

John (Gizmodyne) mentioned placing them in the sun to let them darken. I put one coat of oil on and was a little disapointed with the color I was seeing. After two days of sun the colors were richer and darker. I had never heard of it before and was amazed at the difference. Compare the pictures in post #7 and this one. Identical lighting, you can see the difference.

Looks great Bob, I can’t wait to see it with the upolstry on it. Of couse a few shots of you sleeping on it would be good too.

How many more are you planning to build? After seeing the first pictures, I couldn’t believe that you didn’t go into production mode. You have a gold mine there! Looking forward to seeing it with the cusions.

Hi Bob;
—-wow!....now this chair’s time has come for it’s un-veiling….!

....and yes, I like those split through tenons there on the upside and the finish is great!

Thanks for sharing this and so I’m waiting for the art-full end of your finished ‘wood art’ story….
GODSPEED,
Frank

Bob! My man! This thing is coming out awesome! It’s been a great blog series, a great read and has produced a great chair! You are a great motivator by your words and actions. You’ve done some really beautiful work.

Thanks, Bob. I’ll do that (have to at home this evening; silly firewall at work). Glad I asked, I may adopt that for my mirror project.

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

Hey now! Very nice. It turned out great. Can’t wait to see the fabric. You need to woodwork yourself a giant screened mosquito proof enclosure to work in.

LOL Kaleo…my wife would be cruel enough to do just that…Me , mouth open, snoring, for all the world to see.

Os…my shop is just too small for production work. I had a hard time fitting the one, never mind a number of them. My plan for retirement is a shop big enough to do that (my skills will have grown by then as well…hopefully)

Hehe Giz…I was thinking about rigging a cable on my awning to hold mosquito netting. The other night was awful. Not to mention the EEE and West Nile Virus issue.

Thanks again all. You’ve provided me with my inspiration so this is part your project too.

Outstanding!!!!
