This is my first chair and I have used a rather simple design in that the seat is not sloped toward the back and the legs are rectangular for the most part. The splat is also straightforward.
As you can see (or maybe not), there are elements of Greene & Greene (cloud lifts and ebony pegs) along with Maloof style joints for attachment of the seat to the legs.
I would appreciate comments on the design and construction techniques used. For example, should the tops of the back legs be cut shorter? Are there further embellishments to the splat that you can suggest? Will the Maloof joints (which are quite snug) survive if glued with epoxy and reinforced with a single 2" screw? Also, if you think the overall result is just too clunky, I would appreciate hearing that.
Thanks for any insights or suggestions.
David
