Hi John,
Sweetness, I really like the design, and the two different woods complement each other very nice!

Those are two beautiful chairs. The design is great and the contrasting woods look fabulous.

My only question is: Yeah they look good but are they comfortable? I went to a very ornate church in Ukraine and they had beautiful looking chairs but to sit for more then 10 minutes was a bucket of pain killers.
They look great, nice contrast with the woods used.

thank you for all the nice comments. the seat material is curly ambrosia maple and must been seen to be appreciated.
Michael curtis they are quite comfortable and I could sit for a long time without needing pain killers.

These are truly beautiful. They seem more art than function but the workmanship is exquisite. I especially like the dovetail legs. I will try to import that idea in an upcoming project.

Those are really SLICK, I like them! Just out of wondering, how much weight do they have to them, I am guessing they are stout with that solid walnut back. Have you ever tried maybe arching the back lower leg opening to lighten them?...

Very nice work! Did you break the edges at the base so you don’t have splintering on the edges when the chairs are pushed?
