I've been playing around with different styles of simple, light, chairs.
Kind of reinventing/copying the wheel, but it is fun to just toy around with different shapes especially ones that I can work on using my spoke shaves.
I have been using southern yellow pine as I don't like the idea of spending too much on something that may well not work out.
Its fun being able to perform much of the shaping of the arms and back after assembly. The radius between the arms and legs is too tight for my curve bottom spokeshave, so used a microplane and rasps in those areas, but still enjoyable.
Southern yellow pine isn't so fun to work. Maybe it's just me, but the huge variation in density between the early/late wood makes it harder to shape using chisel and knife. Despite that, it was a fun project and is a usable chair even if I don't care much for the face grain areas.
