That looks difficult to build. Nice work.

On the other hand, I'm trying to figure out how I would sit on it without hurting myself. LOL

Interesting project and a lovely build. Enjoyed your extremely detailed writeup of the process, your thoughts and the wood work it self.

Looks great! But how is it to sit on? Those front edges look uncomfortable.

As long as you don't try to sit your butt hole over the points, it's alright. For a 5'10" person, your knees are high enough the edge doesn't matter. I've seen tomb paintings with a thin cushion and it's fine with that.

That is fantastic; from the initial interest in the design, to the hand done execution, to the gesso paint, to the visually pleasing napkin sketches. Thank you.

I usually don't comment on projects with only one photo but after seeing your site on it, I can only say those images were so good. I really enjoyed all your diagrams and explanations. An interesting piece of art but your writing and sketches of it are even more artistic. Well done and thank you.

Would be neat to see pictures of the progress as it was being made.

That was a great built.
I read your long post and it was very informative and inspiring with nice drawings as well.
Lots of effort into this.
