My grandson was diagnosed with autism in 2007 and needed a table for the in-home therapy sessions he was enrolled into. I made this table and chairs for him out of some spalted sycamore I had sitting around just waiting for such a project. He LOVES trains, thus the cut-out in the backs of the chairs. :)

Beautiful wood grain. Is that a maker’s mark on the back of the chair? I would be curious to see it up close.

Rick,
This is a beautiful project. This is something that any child would be happy to use. The train cut-outs add a nice detail to the chairs as well.
Very nice post.

EXCEPTIONAL project – true craftsmanship- the train cutouts are great.
What type of joinery did you use on the chair legs because they look clean and solid.?

Beautiful set, Rick!
I’ve made a couple of projects with spalted sycamore. It has a really interesting texture and appearance, doesn’t it?

I think when there is a meaning behind the build, it make the build that much better. Beautiful.
