Looks like solid construction. Great work.

Great looking chair, always like the Morris style.

What is supporting the seat?

This is a nice job. I tend to favor arts and crafts furniture. This one looks great.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the feedback guys. The back is just a piece of 4” thick foam with upholstery fabric. I’ll post pictures when it’s done. The seat is a 6” thick piece of foam with the same fabric. It’s supported by a piece of 3/4” plywood which rests on a cleat in the front and back.

Really outstanding. I’m so tempted to start a Morris chair. I’m planning a scaled down version for my nephew, who’s just seven months old. With luck, I may be done by his third birthday.

How long did it take to finish the chair? What are your plans for the cushions? I don’t sew, but I’m really good with a staple gun.

Mark, I Worked on the chair off and on for about a year. Don’t let that discourage you though because it probably only took about 40 hours. You can use a staple gun for the seat cushion, but I think the back one needs to be removable. So you might need to find somebody that can sew. I’m waiting for my mother to sew the cushions for mine and I have a feeling it’s gonna be a long wait.

You’ve done an great job of capturing the Arts & Crafts look. You also have a lot more patience (or skill) than I do – - – After a few hand cut mortices I gave up & went with a hollow chisel morticer. White oak is too hard for me to cut with hand chisels. Plus I never could get the darn holes square! Nice work!
