you make a great friend!

absolutely gorgeous!

The Morris Chair has been on my to do list for a long time, just waiting for my skills to catch up to my ambition.

Merry Christmas

Nice chair and nice gesture. I see the calculator by the phone in pic 1, that must be how you came up with your price, huh?

Schroeder.

She overpaid. The dowels don’t match, the wood is all streaked, the cushion for his head is not big enough. You should probably just give it to her and write it off as a learning experience.

Merry Christmas to you and to the grouch in the shop with you. To you and yours.

Schroeder,

You have a conference room in your house?

I’m most impressed with your fabric selection. Did you have your friend’s wife pick it out? Or is that a standard for you? However it came about, it gives the chair a bit of a dressy feel.

Great job on the sneaky part, too.

Great looking chair Schroeder. I have an extra $1 if you want to sell another one :-)). Are you working from plans, or did you wing it? I’ve been looking for a good set of plans for the Morris Chair – let me know where you got them from if you worked from plans. Nice workmanship.

Thanks all – The pix just don’t do this thing justice – I book matched everything – I’m way more excited about this than any I’ve sold. Rikkor – yea, the dollar, I donknow – I just wanted to screw with her a little I guess, that way she piad for it for her huz and can give it as a gift! KARSON! Too funny! – Merry Christmas to you from Cronk & Me! Merganser – yup! – conference room – the wife wanted a media room but I quashed that! ;)

Cajunpen – The plans are modified from a version in Woodsmith – the proportions are great, and the details given with that plan are the best I’ve seen, (although I secretly hope that DeCou will learn Sketchup well enough so that he can put the plans for his on a blog!)

Thanks all! And MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Wonderful work as always Schroeder. And the wood is just terrific.
