Wow they really look the business. Presumably they will have leather seats and backs. Are you allowed to tell us what sort of client has the good taste to commission chairs like these?

Fair play, that's a lot of components for a one man band, GR made 2000 chairs for Coventry Cathedral but that was the whole of the factory.

Well done, did you have to hand sand them?

Not quite the order is for 52 plus a spare, just in case!

Peter, I didn't know Gorden Ramsey made chairs, (only kidding)

yes dark green leather seat and backs.

For a college not far away!

Did you have a template to begin with, or how did you get the shape correct? Chairs fill me with dread and you sometimes see workshops with a story stick made up of a number of that craftsman's "stock" chairs.

I really can have a sit down now, well I could if I had something to sit on they have all gone! :roll:

Here's one with the upholstery in place. Dark green leather

Seconded! They should be good for a century or two.
