Ever build something and a friend says “Can you make one for me?” or you say “That was fun I would like to make another one.” Well a little of both is what happened here. This is made from quartersawn white oak. You can see it’s Walnut-built mate and construction information at (same plan and finishing technique used on both)

I think this project brings home the fact that as woodworkers, wood is our palate and that any design can be interpreted in many ways. Are the projects the same or are they different? You decide.
Enjoy.

nice build. If my wife see this, I will be making her one. I would probably make a different seat. I would be afraid my adult son would sit on it and make it sag!

Same but different color. I would agree with a different type of seat. Plan came from “Plans Now’’ yes?
Nice job anyway,

Both have good features. I like them both. Could you comment on the attachment of the webbing (both directions)? I see the cleat across the front, guessing the ends are the same, but what about attachment under the cleat?

The webbing is held in with 6 cut tacks on each end. It’s not hard work but you have to measure out the spacing and weave the webbing off the roll in the correct pattern. Tack on the first end, pull it tight as you can, have a friend tack the other end and then you cut it.
