    It’s at top of over the top! Isn't that your own design ? I suggest making 7 more of them !

    Well done!! I wouldn’t want to guess the number of hours you have invested. What wood did you use?

    Thanks everyone! Mel, it is not my own design...maybe an original in a future chair. John, it is mahogany. The project required 16/4 stock because of the curves on the rear legs/stiles/back. I had been practicing on basswood which carves like butter. Mahogany is a bit harder, but still not difficult. I have a lot of cherry in my area and I may try that next.

    Thanks Robert. Got it from Hearne Hardwood in October. It was his last piece of 16/4. Spent just north of $600 for it.

    Are you going to do it with rubberized horsehair filling in the traditional way or use modern foam with batting?
