A million years ago (approximately), there was a thread here where many of you made a morris chair. I enjoyed reading it and seeing all the great variations.
Recently I had a little shop time open up and have been doing more woodworking. This included planing a stack of white oak I had sitting beside my shop for the last 10 years, which I finally brought in and decided to make a morris chair of it (thanks for all the inspiration).
Here is the lumber sitting in the shop after being stickered inside for some time, then planed. A pretty decent amount with some quartersawn pieces, some of which are about 2.5" thick.
I decided I liked the designs that look more swept back. Taped legs. With the rear legs splayed back.
Bought a locking miter bit off ebay and tried my hand at the lock miter on a tapered leg. It took a couple before I got the hang of it but was able to get it to work. Next time I might try lowering it a bit because the miter right at the corner is a pretty thin piece (these were just over 1/2" thick, right at the minimum for this bit.
