I like the flow of the design. The weathering that has accured makes it look like it was discovered in a Japanese temple from ages ago.

I like the design and the wood weathered beautifully. Don’t know if I would agree that it looks comfortable. Unless you’re one of those folks that thinks those wooden geta sandals are comfortable. Great job. Thanks for the post.

Very cool. Good re-use of wood. The joinery and craftsmanship are well done. Thanks for posting.

Aviad, You succeeded to put into the chair the Japanese calligraphy. the uncomfortably which seems to be in this chair (I agree with what Tim mentioned above) connected to the Japanese characterized uncomfortably furnitures (from us Westerners point of view). I suppose you were the best creative student in the course :)

You can tell it is Japanese because its side looks like a Japanese word, I am wondering what it means!
It is not too late to start looking after it and keep it as long as possible for the memory behind it.
So many trains ran on it and given to you by a friend when it was a sleeper and the story of the school workshop and that comfort it gave your uncle for 10 years and now its picture is around the world. For that, I think it deserves the attention of someone to take care of it.

Hi Aviad, All those years ago you were pushing the limits of woodworking concepts, as you are to day.
I wish I had half of your gift, for the ability to see the end result, from a pile of wood.

thank you all . this chair is quite comfortable but too much confidence can make you brake your neck when laying back , it has some ballance problems . even so i realy like it . by the way i didnt mention that the main concept of it is no gluing and it hold itself only by its joints !!.

Very serene looking design and i wish I could have a drawing of this as I sure would like to build one.
The Japanese style is something I enjoy building and find inspiring .

Thanks
