I have been trying my hand at green woodworking and Windsor chairs recently. The riving process yields a lot of off-cuts that aren't really appropriate for a chair. But it seems a sin to waste them. I also have several wider off-cuts from tables that are too narrow or thin to otherwise be a chair seat.

The top is walnut (lathe turned; it's really a platter); the base is (I think) pin oak from our yard @ work. Finished in spar varnish. The legs and stretchers were riven, then shaped with a draw knife.
C&C invited.
