Just finished - decided I needed a new table and chairs for myself. Table
is 44x60 made from 8/4 red oak with a mahogany urethane finish. Glass is
3/8" smoked plate.

Have never built a chair before - what an experience! And lots of fun -
got
to use lot of tools I normally don't, like a spokeshave and bullnose
planes.

All in all a rewarding, fun and learning experience.

Very nice. I really like the chair design.

Thanks! I once had an old French Provincial style chair that had that same
curve in the back leg and I always liked it, so I incorporated that into the
design. Didn't want a solid back so I repeated the curve in the interior
pieces and liked the way it looked. Front legs are a simple 4 sided taper.
Got to use my bandsaw an spokeshaves a bunch!
