This is my first furniture & first project in my art studio. 7ft tall x 4.5ft wide x 4ft long. I started in September 3, 2010 and finished in October 8, 2010 with the help of one assistant.
It is made out of my dad collection of old wood from 50-150 year old houses found in the Philippines: (1)Mahogany, (2)Tamarind, (3)Narra, (4)Kamagong “iron wood”, (5)Molave, (6)Tangili, (7)Cedar, (8)Palo de China, (9)Cherry, (10)Ipil, (11)Palo Ropa
I made the giant chair as a personal birthday gift to remind myself to “think big” about my future and to keep on dreaming. My birthday was October 10, 2010, which is why I ended up calling my art studio, STUDIO 10.10
...this chair marks the beginning of my addiction to woodworking and my official welcome back to the Philippines.

@dbray45: It sits two people nicely… with their feet up. However, it’s meant more as a center piece for taking photos in a lobby of a grand hotel than something I recommend people to sit on the whole day. The feeling of sitting on it is priceless especially since I know that every piece of wood I used is a part of history.

Amazing build …. are the arms / legs steam bent? Good luck finiding a cushion to fit on that monster.

That is Awesome!! And cool! And beautiful!! And fantastic work!! I love the fact that it’s all reclaimed wood and, as you say, each piece is part of history.
Great Work!
I can’t wait to see the matching desk…LOL!

How do we know that you just aren’t really, really short?
seriously, just a remarkable piece. Have you figured out the amount of Wood, Glue and man hours it took?
