Chair Reproduction

Nice job reproducing the chair! I wouldn’t have been able to tell which was which by looking at the picture.

I think the only give away is the two originals have dust on the leg stretchers!
I don’t think I would have been able to pick out the reproduction.
Really nice work, especially on the carvings.

Excellent job both on the reproduction of the existing chairs and matching the finish on the three chairs. Like Gary said I could not discern a difference between the chairs either.

Well done.

Outstand workmanship Chris!

Thanks for the comments guys. Customers always have good things to say, but coming from you guys it’s different.

Hi Chris

Your reproduction chair looks great. You did a beautiful job on it. Thank you for posting.

I remember two reproductions chairs I had to do myself at work. One was a Masonic chair lost in a fire that we were refinishing. The other was another Masonic chair we were refinishing and an inmate decided to chisel off the carvings because he thought it would be easier to sand!?

Fantastic job – the only difference that I can see is the grain pattern on the reproduction – but that may only because of the camera angle. They should have been quite pleased with your work.

Man, that is nice work. I doubt anyone not told it was a repro would notice any difference.

Very difficult to tell the original from the copy, the first thing I noticed was that the pronounced rays on the upper back rail of the centre chair and the colour is tad lighter in shade, but I am sure this will mellow over the next few months to match the remaining chairs. Excellent work
