Hello,
I finished the last piece of office furniture now. I had made the bookshelf and filing cabinet a few weeks ago.
I would like to say thanks to fellow 'creeker Mike Henderson for his input on the chair. The bow was cheated on by purchasing it from Matthew Burak's company at www.tablelegs.com (http://www.tablelegs.com). I plan on learning to steam bend but I figured this would give me an opportunity to have a very nice example to base it off. This was my first chair of the windsor type so it was just a matter of figuring out the spindle angles and so forth. The chair is of the african ribbon mahogany. As in the previous post I like the look of the wood but find it quite unstable. It is a danish oil finish followed by the good old tripoli and white diamond treatment.
Comments welcome.
Thanks,
Kyle
