Walnut Settee-Maloof style-Here is a picture of a just completed walnut sette. Of course inspired by Sam Maloof. The seats are carved and the arms and backrest are handshaped. The single chairs like this are our most popular chair.

Impressive work! Just the symmetry in the seat is amazing let alone the lines. Very nice!

Nice homage to Maloof. I have never seen the twin rider before what a neat concept, how much weight do you think it could hold? jockmike

What hardware is behind the black spots ?

Think I’ll post an ad on Craigslist for a furniture photographer myself. Does your photographer charge by the hour ? What is a good rate ?

You really got the angles and the flavor of Maloof’s seatee. Keep up the good work!
