Sailor's Chair

Wow, I love this design. The flow is wonderful and the impression of sail cloth seat-back is perfectly done, from the wood choices to the execution.

cool chairs! I really like the a lot – especially the back rest

-- Hey you dang woodchucks, quit chucking my wood!!!!

Excellent work Dave. Very creative design… one does get the feel of light, billowing sails from the light wood. Wonderful pieces.

-- Better to say nothing and be thought the fool... then to speak and erase all doubt!

Very distinct design and great craftsmanship.

-- Shawn, I ask in order to learn

You have a great imagination! Well done.

Well done Dave. Let’s see that would be, bottom to top, Course, Tops’l, T’gallant and Royal. Between the two I think you have a full rigged ship. Nice work Cap’n!

Ahab, those are pretty special chairs and you did a good job on them.

-- If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. Henry David Thoreau

My original design called for Black Cherry and American Holly. But it seems that the Holly supply is getting worse and I couldn’t find enough clear wood for the project. And even though Cherry is beautiful, it is far from my favorite wood to work with.

Rivergirl….great artist you quote there!! Pirate looks at 40 is one of my fav songs.
