This is my entry into the 2008 LJ Woodworking Awards – One Man’s Junk.

You can read my blog at – http://lumberjocks.com/jocks/Zuki/blog/5123

It started with the junk . . .

A model . . .

And a hunk of poplar . . .

And became my wife’s new office chair.

NOTE – I have opted to not apply a finish at this point in time. Staining or painting may be in the chair’s future.

Now that’s a chair. I’m sure the wife will be quite comfy.

Great looking chair – the replacement looks much nicer than the original.

Wonderful chair and excellent use of junk. Get some cusion material also from junk to make the chair more comfortable. Good entry and wish u get the award.

Excellent!

You put an awful lot of effort into this chair.

You deserve some sort of reward for this.

Good Luck!
