Walnut Office Chair

Project by scott shangraw posted 304 days ago 942 views 7 times favorited 18 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Here is another office chair that was just finished.I just got back from an art show in Indio CA and these office chairs seem well received I think there may be a decient market out there for these.They are fun to make the base is a liitle hard to cover all the metal with wood but I think otherwise the chair would not look as good.
Thanks for looking
Scott

Ooooooh! Wowwwww!

I’ve gotta try my hand at chair making – guess I’ll start with a stool and work up from there!

As we have come to expect from you, Scott. Really nice crispy design lines and great color and finish. They should sell like hotcakes.

Beautiful chair. Where did you get the hardware for it? Did you dismantle an existing chair or can you buy those parts?

Scott-the chair is fantastic. And it looks like you may have found a great niche for these chairs.
Now if you will just produce a video for us novices who aspire to build a chair like that, you will be a hero to many.

Thanks for posting
