Cross-posted from the ol' Woodnet, because there's always much fruitful discussion here. I normally don't post my work because I'm lazy about documentation and photography.
The design drawing. Some of you might have seen my previous posts about this style of design. I can talk through it if anyone is interested.

The finished product. (Client had just moved in, requests pardon on the clothing.) Solid cherry throughout, poplar used in the seat boards. Satin varnish over Sealcoat, then a little bit of wax. Upholstery was done locally. Didn't come out exactly how I wanted, but I blame that on my not knowing anything about upholstery before the project.

Joinery detail. I sometimes use different metals as wedges, but opted for soft maple.

Leg in the rough. They were laminated out of 6/4 material, each half of the larger mortises cut before glue-up of the massive lap joints.
