I do have a liking for the 'natural look', but you really hit a home run with the colors. What does it for me isn't even so much the specific colors you used; it's the way they contrast with each other... really brings a lot of life to the piece. Love it! Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Cheers -- I’m with Danny: the colors are really striking. I do have a liking for the ‘natural look’, but you really hit a home run with the colors.

To Conrad: I found MIller's book worth the money and fairly easy to follow. It provides the essentials of chair making that can be applied to chairs of your own design or his more advanced projects. I'll just say that without the book I wouldn't have had a clue to know where to begin. Danny: Thanks. I couldn't agree with you more regarding that brown furniture. While a certainly enjoy projects with naturally contrasting woods, I cringe when I see the monotone projects so many woodworking magazines offer. Thanks for the kind remarks.

I get tired of seeing furniture with just a brown stain or a yellowish clear finish so it's nice to see more woodworkers putting some color on their wood projects, and in your case with elegant style.
