The client having been out of town, I had the opportunity this morning

reproductions I made to the upholstery shop, where they were
re-upholstering the other chairs in the set; both so the upholstery shop
could deliver them all to her at the same time; and to give me the
possibly last opportunity to photograph them in their final state:

Nice job. It's a good thing I don't do woodworking for a living, because
the client would have to pry work like that out of my cold, dead,
splintered fingers. I might not even let people sit on them in my own
house. I'd build a glass-enclosed showcase to put them in and wouldn't
allow anyone to touch that either.

Speaking of clients, any chance yours will take issue with the more
prominent grain on the reproductions? That's got to be another tricky
aspect of being in the "making anything custom" business; even if you
make it *better* than the original, it may not be exactly how they
imagined it.
