Hello Colin. Here’s a wee photograph of the remaining scraps. Not a lot as you say.

Thanks for your comments.

Outstanding work, Stewart! Wish I could go to Yorkshire and do an apprenticeship. You are good!

the chair is magnificent and the setting in which it sits sets it off beautifully.
Personally, I think this will be a family treasure – especially with its amazing story that it carries already.
You are a wizard!!!

Nice 2×4

Very nice project. Don’t think I would tackle one like this.

Awesome! Stewart, what would you estimate the time it took to build this after you passed the initial feasibility planning?

wow, ok I have been looking, but I haven’t seen the contest time extension request form. I think I will need 3, maybe 4 more months. What a wonderful chair, excellent work. I’m excited to see all the other entries.

Thank you very much gentlejocks for all your comments.

Tomfran – Surfside Beach sounds much more attractive to run that apprenticeship that the North Sea coast!

Debbie – I normally like to photograph in the open air, but today it’s hardly been daylight so Mrs YS suggested the setting. When I read to her your: ”the setting in which it sits sets it off beautifully” she was delighted. Our problem will be in finding somewhere to put the chair. We already have more chairs than a doctor’s waiting room!

JohnJoiner – It took in the region of 25 hours.
