The Missus placed an order for a dining table and chairs. The table didn't bother me much, but honestly, I've been dreading that first chair for years.
We found a plan that we both liked and of course it couldn't be a nice simple straight back chair, it had to have curves everywhere!
I made this prototype out of White Pine, I think the table and chair set will be White Oak, maybe Red Oak. The chair has 22 mortise and tenons, 12 of those are in curved areas.
The back legs are sawn from 1 3/4 thick by 3 1/2" wide stock, the back slats are sawn from 1 3/4" square stock.
The prototype is finished with 2 coats of Zinnser Sealcoat followed by 5 coats of wipe-on Ploy.
I did the seat with material and foam from Walmart.
Thanks for looking,
