Great chair Schroeder. You are getting pretty good pushing them out the door. Another great job.

Thanks all! – I forgot to mention that Cronk did all the milling so technically “we” have 170 hours in the chair – he definitely had the tougher part. Thanks Karson, I was looking forward to being done with these things for a while, but…you know how that goes…now we have momentum in the shop so we are going to build 2 for Cronks house out of figured maple he cut forever ago…

Beautiful wood….beautiful chair!

That would be one heck of an expensive piece if you priced your labor at, say, $35 per hour!

What Bob said. The curly figure in that ottoman is beyond belief. More Gnarly mastery.

Well, I don’t think it’s sexy – but it is a BEAUTIFUL chair. The Morris chair is one of my favorites and this one is my all time favorite. I really like the wood. One of these days I will work up the nerve to order some plans and get one made. Great job.

That is a mighty fine chair. I love it when a very well built piece actually has a story to go with it.

Wow, the grain in that walnut is really spectacular, as is your care in using it.

Nice!!!

That is a gorgeous project. Using walnut really makes this a unique project. With that much time in the project I am glad to see that you were working on commission rather than an hourly rate. It would be difficult to charge for the time that you actually have in the project but it is more rewarding to have something built by hand from a friend rather than buying something mass produced in China.

I am sure that your friend appreciates both the chair and the gesture.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

The only problem with that chair is I would not want to get out of it!.
