Hi Dennis,
I saw your beautiful table that you recently finished. I thought you might like to see a pic of the chair I built this weekend.
Construction is loose mortise and tenon made on my shop built Mortise Flex (otherwise known as a Multi-Router). Wood is Cherry, style is mission to match the desk I built LOML for Christmas. Finish at this point is one coat of Waterlox.
Building a chair is certainly a serious project and I thought this one turned out pretty well for my first time. I'll say that having the ability to make angled mortises via the Mortise-Flex was a life saver in this case. 26 M & T joints will try your patience :eek:.

Including the upholstery, I'd say I have about 12 hours invested in this. If you needed to make more I'd guess an additional 2-4 hours per chair.
I've got detailed drawings of this if they would help anyone interested in making one.
Cheers,
Dan
