Can’t beat a Morris Chair. Mine went with the ex-husband ;). And Canadian- it is not unusual for these Morris chairs to fetch 4,000+. The originals are way more than that. :) I love all things Mission, and Ries I see that you are a Mission kind of guy. I envy your talent. :)

That’s looks like a real comfortable chair and I wouldn’t mind having it for myself. You did a nice job on it.

Hey Ries, I’m digging your stuff! Which plans did you use for this one? I’ve got a friendly Stickley antique dealer in Berkeley that’s going to let me measure his Morris chair. It has perfect proportions.

If memory servers me I got the plans from American Furniture Design.
