The color is very even for pine. Did you seal it with shellac first? There are a lot of cool little details in this chair.

Jeff what a great chair!!! I love the look and design!!

Great work.

Great Chair. Is the design original?

Great piece. Chairs are so difficult to do and this turned out terrific. Really like the design elements a lot too! Thanks for sharing.

-- Better to say nothing and be thought the fool... then to speak and erase all doubt!

This chair looks oh so comfy after a long day at the job! Super detailing on it as well.

Great design and detail. Your wife did a nice job on the cusions, too.

Very nice chair. I’m looking for some plans to make a Morris chair. Hopefully I’ll get it done this year.

Karson, the design elements are a combination of widely used decorative designs in New Mexico by the “carpentieros” of the 17th century. It is a combination of Spanish and Native American influences.

when I first saw it I thought of Ben Cartwright on Bonanza.. that probably fits with my image then.

Very nice work. I recently ordered a couple early NM furniture books from Woodworkers Supply and am looking forward to doing more research and designing/building some pieces. I lived in southeast NM for the majority of my life and really do like early NM furniture.
