I agree Red oak is available, and quarter sawn White Oak is not available to me. So I’d go with the Red Oak also.

Very Nice.

Nice looking projects. Any reason you don’t use 1/4 sawn?

Awesome. I love mission and craftsman styles. I am going to do something similar later this year. I will not run out of projects thanks to the LumberJocks family.

The last red oak I bought this past week was $1.95 a foot vs. the cost of quatersawn white oak in the $4 to $5 range?

And I know it’s traditional to use quartersawn, but I think it looks okay with regular.

Great furniture!

Sounds about like how our prices go Paul, except I think the red oak is about $2.95 and the quarter sawn is a bit higher as well. Nothing wrong with using the flatsawn oak, as it works well too.

Actually, they’re imitation leather and I had them made locallly at an upholstery shop.

Paul, if you preach as well as you make furniture, you’re right up there with Billy Graham!

Those Wood Mag mission plans are great. Really nice adaptations!

Paul, this is great. The next project I am going to build will either be this chair or I am going to modify it into a love seat.I have this plan also, and I keep coming back to it as being one of the best designs out there.Your work is superb!
