Walnut Morris Chair

Very nice. Though not traditional, I really like it in walnut. Beautiful wood, beautiful chair, beahtiful job.

I like that, possibly more than a QSWO one. That Walnut is pretty talkative. Nice job.

Looks great! Never seen one in walnut. How do you like the Odies oil?

Thanks Gene! Definitely not traditional, but free lumber talks!

Thanks SMP! This is the largest project I have used Odies on. I have used it on boxes, turned items, and a slab coffee table. It produces a really warm finish that has no film appearance. It is definitely not the right finish for everything, but for a very natural looking satin finish that doesn’t need heavy protection, its looks killer. It smells good too.

Beautiful job! You made a great choice using the walnut, it is definitely a classic. Well done.

-- AJ

Well done and looks comfortable.

Thanks Redoak. It is comfortable. My wife has claimed it for knitting.

Awesome looking chair. I especially like the scrollwork on the larger middle slats.

I have a Morris chair on my bucket list also, but the wife has too many other things ahead of it so it’ll be a few years.

Great project, welcome to LJs, and congrats on the DT3!

Question though… will you need to change your name from Tim to use it?

Nice Nice Nice! I have those plans myself in the file drawer. You have inspired me to pull them out and get started building mine.

Kelly, you will be glad you did. It took a while to build, but each part was like a mini-project.
