These chairs belong the dinning table that was posted before this. There are 12 of them. Like the bench, I spent many hours on the design, full scales and mock ups. I made a pine prototype that I use everyday, as it is the only chair in the shop, and the leg design holds up very well. Again, no bending, everything was cut out of solid pieces. I did much of what I wanted to, as far as design, but I was running out of time and had to limit the design for the money I was being paid. Hopefully, one day, I will be able to revisit this design and make it everything it should be. I really enjoyed this build, long with the dining table. My client is great, and lets me do what ever i want with the design and I often don’t even giving him a drawing to approve.

Very unique indeed!
It must have been a lot of work to get all the joints at angle.
I like it. Well done!

Great design and execution but I have my doubts about those backward slanting front legs. Chairs are the nightmare of furniture restorers and I have seen some in my time.

Very impressive design! I like how the cross brace is set back – more room for feet!

YES. Thank you for consistently posting photos of your wonderful work. Your OWN designs and your fine display of craftsmanship. It is beyond refreshing to see photos of something other than cutting boards. (but to all those who love making cutting boards keep it up if it satisfies your needs!) I just love seeing your work because it is different, tasteful, and well executed. I’m all about designs that I consider “complex simplicity”, your work is a perfect example.

well done, I can see with some small adjustment you could turn these into some bar stools. I like that you kept the pine mock up.
