  1. Morris Chair

    We built a 4 seasons room,, I needed a chair to read in by the fire. This is definitely my most complicated project to date. The curved arms had me nervous,, buy my Grizzly band saw did a nice job cutting the veneers and I borrowed my dad's drum sander which made sizing them to final thickness...
  2. Daddy's Chair

    This is my first chair designed and built. I learned many things through this process…..chairs are the hardest to build, comfort is paramount, and the design has to fit all shapes and sizes of people. That's a tall order. Chair was inspired by an antique Morris Chair that we purchased more...
  3. Another Acoustic Guitar

    Another acoustic guitar I hope you enjoy seeing. The top and sides are of Northern Basswood and the back is Italian Poplar. The designs are woodburnings which I find decorates but does not change the tone.
  4. First Electric Guitar

    My first venture in building an electric guitar. Last summer I purchased a hard maple 2" x 12" from the local sawmill, with the intension of cutting it up into neck blanks. When I looked closer after getting it home I saw about 18" of one end had an attractive figure in the grain. To pretty for...
  5. Morris Chair

    I have finally built myself a Morris Chair. I have wanted one for a long time and finally got around to doing something about it. The chair was built out of quarter sawn white oak picked for flecks and rays. The wood is very difficult to find around here and it took me awhile to accumulate...
  6. Outdoor Morris Chair

    This is a Morris Chair I built for the back porch. This is based on a design published in Popular Woodworking April 2002. I basically stuck to the original design with a few minor exceptions. I adjusted the overall dimensions a bit. I also choose to use a full spline in the arm joint. The...
  7. Morris chair

    So a lot of people have posted and built Morris chairs and this is only one more of them. I've wanted to do mine for a very long time and now its done. To be honest I followed the plan from FWW, but I would change a few things when I build another. A lot of thanks goes out to my LJ buddy Dave...
  8. Bow arm Morris chair

    My first large project. Quartersawn white oak. Laminated arms, bandsawn backrails (curved). Thick leather cushions filled with down and hand-sewn (my finger still hurt). Plans from Fine Woodworking. Footstool is finished, just needs upholsery (my fingers need to heal first). Love this chair now!
  9. Morris rocking chair repair and restoration

    I haven't seen another Morris chair quite like this one. It's a Binghampton rocker from 1915 and was a wedding present to my great grandparents. It was passed down through the family to my mom. In 1969 my brother and I were doing what brothers do and broke the chair back. There was much weeping...
  10. Morris inspired chair

    This is my next project. My couch potato recliner is on its last legs (No more buying expensive yet cheaply made furniture for this boy….I'm gonna make some sawdust). I'm getting the wood for it this weekend so i should post completed photos in a couple of weeks. The great thing about...

  12. Stickley 2340 Bow Arm Morris Chair in Hard Maple

    Hello All: Here is my latest project, a replica of 1901 Stickley 2340 Bow Arm Morris Chair. Its made entirely of hard maple that was salvaged from the building I work in during a remodel. Arms and back slats are steam bent (wood was soaked in Downy fabric softener for 2 weeks before steaming)...
  13. Mission Kitchen Chairs

    This is another batch of QSWO mission style chairs that I finished lacquering last night. Complete with leather upholstery, they are now ready for the kitchen. I hear many people are nervous to try building chairs, and I would encourage them to give it a try. I can't quit.
  14. Stickley Morris Chair

    Wood: Quartersawn red oak. Finish: Ammonia fumed,BLO,shellac,wax. A couple of firsts: first chair and first time steam bending(back slats). Thanks to help in the forum for a newbie steaming. The chair is slightly wider and taller than the plan(craftsman plans). The wood told me to do it. All...
  15. Morris chair

    This sure was a major one for me to tackle, and it definitely had it's up and down. The beauty of attempting something of this magnitude is definitely the learning experience one gains going through it. Of course, the build plan and instructions were well written on woodcraftmagazine by...
  16. Bent arm Morris Chair

    Douglas Fir Bent Arm Morris Chair. I also did the Upholstery Work
  17. Morris Chair

    Greetings all… here you have my first "real" furniture project. A Morris Chair build from the Wood Magazine plans. I think I used every tool in the shop on this one… and acquired a few more :^) First time "skill builders" for me included: >cutting tenons on the TS with a tenoning jig...
  18. Morris-style chair in cherry

    I actually finished this back in October, but it took this long to have cushions made, and wanted to post it completed. I got the plans from woodstore.net and it was probably the most elaborate thing I've made as far as joints go. The most challenging part was the curved arm rests, made from 3...
  19. Morris Bowed Arm Chair

    This is the Morris Chair I made last winter. Also made the cushions in a upholstery class I was taking. Chair is QSWO from plans off the woodmagazine.com web site. Palu
  20. Black Walnut Morris Chair - Surprise for Christmas

    First, let me apologize for my photography skills - I'm going to have these re-shot by a professional after Christmas. This chair was built for a friend who I work with. He and his wife really wanted to buy one from me, but couldn't justify spending that much money (pbhhht! - newlyweds). So I...
