I finally finished my Gustav Stickley Morris chair from the April 2011 issue of Popular Woodworking. Nice plans from Robert Lang, though there are a few typos that one must be careful to check. I originally found the plans in one of the PW books on sale with many Mission and Craftsman plans, and ended up finding the original issue of PW. Quite a bit of challenge in there, and I ended up using my old high school trig (sin, cos, tan) to work out some angles and such. Who knew that would actually be useful!? But it all worked out. I'll spare you all the pile of in progress photos. The finish came out a bit darker than I would have liked, but I dig the feel of the shellac. Leather cushions in progress to wrap this guy up.
