This week’s project comes from Jeff. He writes:

This is the chair that I just finished. All stock is 8/4 and this chair uses the “hip joint” we were speaking about. The finish is Waterlox and I put on 6 coats just by wiping it on. Hope you enjoy the pics!

  2. TedM says:

    Very nice, Jeff! A great job!

  3. Kris Lauer says:

    Thanks Jeff. Great job. How did you go about doing the relief on the seat?It looks very uniform.

  4. Jim Jones says:

    Jeff, this is a beautiful chair with great craftsmanship. I’m guessing it took a lot of manhours.

  5. Bob Lewis says:

    That’s a beautiful chair. Great job Jeff. I hope you don’t mind it I TRY to copy it. But I don’t think that I can come close to that good a job. If I get the courage to try, I will post the results. Thanks again for sharing.

  6. Great job! The joints are tighter than the resolution on my monitor so I can’t see the “hip joints” you’re referring to. Could you describe them?

  7. Dan Leik says:

    The arm detail is superlative. The grain curls nicely around and into the socket, the joint almost imperceptible as the eye flows downward.

    I have to say that at first I found the black (ebony?) pins offputting, but as I look at the chair more I think it adds to the balance.

    For such a young guy, you sure are talented.

  8. TrinidadZepeda says:

    I too must say that you did a really great job on this chair. The shape, the joints and the finish all come together beautifully. Again, great job.

  9. Brandon says:

    I really like this chair. I am guessing that the seat was done with a router. I really love the way the from arm supports look like they “flow” from the seat. Again, really nice chair.
