The plans were from Rockler, I didn’t have the time to research all the specs for baby furniture. With existing plans I always have to personalize it and give it a little kick!!! I used purpleheart & yellowheart.

I love purpleheart. Welcome to the site. Great place. I would tell you how addictive it is, but that’s someone else’s line.

That is really COOL!
I like the dovetailed stretchers and the way you did the caps on the seat back!

Purpleheart is a wonderful wood to work on if you can get it and afford it. It finishes about as nicely as you can find. That is a LOT of purpleheart though.
Thanks for posting the post finish picture. You can tell that a little time has passed because it has started to brown a little. There have been some discussions on LJ about how to retain the purple of purpleheart and the orange of padauk. I personally like the way it ages.
Great job!

I see you used dovetails on the stretchers. Nicely executed and I too love the PH have about 300 board feet.. It is one exotic that doesn’t cost the earth over here, about AU$5.00 per board foot, actually I get most of my timber at a good price.

THE TITLE says it all. Little QT Tarissa deserves this high chair. She has stolen the show from the chair which is made with your love.

Nice work….
I noticed that the “baby” in the picture is now 4 years old.
Does the chair still “fit” ?
