This chair was built for a good friend of mine. He in turn built my website. It’s out of sycamore that had previously beams in a 100+ year old barn on my Grandfather’s farm in KS. I absolutely love the color contrast in the wood. I’ve tried to come up with an all wood tray latch system but so far the closest I have got still requires a metal coil spring. If anyone have any suggestions on how I could make an entirely wood latch please let me know.
thanks

Another beautiful chair. Very lucky child to sit in a Maloof-inspired chair!

Impressive, to say the least!

Without seeing your website, I’d still imagine he got the better end of the deal.

oh my goodness, this is beautiful. And the little one won’t even know how special his chair is—well, not for another 20 years, anyway.
LOVE the colour. Sweet

wow! I have a 7month old in a high-chair – not sure I would let her slop around in this (this is too nice)
