Beautiful Asa! I take back everything I said about your podcast.
The choice of wood, fit, finish and upholstery are all beyond reproach.
Well done indeed.

nice build. was just looking at that issue this past weekend, and have this chair saved as a future build (now just have to figure out where to fit it in the house ;) )

Beautiful – you really show off the wood.

Thanks, all. Probably my favorite project so far. Sits perfectly, which you just don’t know until you park your butt. One piece of advice. Spring for real leather and real upholstery. I’m glad I did.

The upholstery does look nicer on this chair. Love how the mortise comes up through the arm.

Great work. A friend and I are building Morris Chairs this summer. Thanks for the inspiration!

Those mortises up through the curved arms are the tricky part! Read out article (shameless plug) on how to pull it off cleanly. One cool tip, when chopping the mortises, I sat the arms on the same MDF form I laminated them on!
