A chair

Waiting on some hardware this morning, so I put a seat on the chair I've been building. Some previous notes on chair construction and some entries over at LumberJocks.

Way nice. How did you bend the back slats in the chairs?

Took a board, screwed a couple of blocks into it, and laminated them out of 3 layers by bending them around those blocks. It went fairly well, but I've got some ideas for better clamping next time, and I was also not paying attention to how sharp my saw blade was, so the faces of those strips were rougher than they should have been.

Classic, yet folksy and slightly eclectic. Nice chair.

It's a beautiful chair and it looks like one that will hold up for years and years and be passed down to nieces or nephews. But how comfortable is it. ;)

Larry, the one thing I screwed up is that the seat is about 2" higher than I wanted it to be , so the curves in the backslats don't hit my back exactly where I wanted. So it's way more comfortable than the one it replaced, but it's not perfect.
