Beautiful, your dream and hard work came together nicely.

Beautiful!

Looking at it, I was thinking you could easily morph this into a Maloof high chair, and sell them to rich yuppies. :-)

Hello Scott: nice piece. The transitions look great and smooth.

Since I am done with my rocking chair, http://lumberjocks.com/projects/10981, I am working right now on a similar set of three bar stools based on the same design (Maloof). How wide is the seat in your bar stool? Is it narrower than in the chairs? Thank you

-- Zipsss

Very nice adaptation of Maloof’s style. Having made a Maloof rocking chair, I know how much work went into this project. I would have never thought to modify the chair to be a “high” chair for a bar – it looks great and I bet it is super comfortable as well. Did you have much trouble shaping the maple? I made my Maloof rocker in walnut and thought about doing one in lyptus because I love the red color but have been hesitant to start because of the task of hand shaping the lyptus. Do you use a shinto rasp and a pattern makers file or do you use a grinder? If you use a grinder, what type of disc do you use? Thanks for sharing your great looking bar chairs!
