I collect British and Scandinavian campaign furniture.
I love the Roorkhee chair design. I sat in many of these while working in Kenya.
I have a pair of similar chairs that were designed by Hans Wegner. They are his famous "Safari Chair". I rescued them from a junk shop for $45 for the pair. They are ebonized wood with canvas and leather seats and backs.
This is really great, please post them to finished projects with more pictures. Show a closeup on how the seats are attached, and give some dimensions.
You have done a great job.
BTW are they comfortable?
Check out Schwarz's lost art press blog if you haven't already. He's been working on one over several entries and you could probably get lots of ideas.
