Re: Morris Chair Project
Nice looking chair and foot stool. Great job.
How did you achieve the contour in the arm rests? Are they a lamination of thin stock or cut from thick stock (band saw presumably)?
The beaded upholstery looks great too!

The arms are 3 each 3/8X5-1/2 glued over a curved form. Took nearly all my Jorgies to clamp them. They were resawn from 8/4 white oak bought from our friends on Palo Verde.

Re: Morris Chair Project
This is a project that I want to do soon. I've got a couple of spots in the house where a Morris chair would be perfect. If I'm careful, and take my time, they MIGHT come out looking half as nice as yours!
Re: Morris Chair Project
Gorgeous chair, Gene! Thanks for posting! Selection of oak for the chair proved to make it a "standout".
These are truly projects that your son and daughter-in-law will cherish for years. (Not forgetting your pride!!)
Here's a big ATTA BOY, GENE!
A question that has had me concerned when I think of making one of these: How did you do such a beautiful job on the seat cushions?
P.S. Beautiful through tenons!

Thanks, Charles.
The cushions were done by an upholstery shop. No way would either my wife or I ever contemplate doing upholstery. A skill way beyond our ken.

Re: Morris Chair Project
Gene, that is FANTASTIC!!
I knew from the pictures of the material (hmmm that was a while back
) that the grain was going to be eye popping !!!
Simply elegant.
Be well,
Ben
