The Chair is finished

[Derek Cohen (Perth Oz)]

The seat has been woven and now the chair is complete.

For those interested in the weaving process, details are included in the final chapter: http://www.inthewoodshop.com/Furniture/ ... Chair.html

For now, I present the final pictures ..

A comparison with the original chair … I think the weaving creates a lighter feeling. What do you think?

Thank you all for your support and encouragement along this journey.

Regards from Perth

Yes. I think it looks better with the woven seat.

Congratulations Derek, it's beautiful.

You were right about the weaving - a far more elegant look than the upholstered seat, and it really accentuates the stunning figure of the Jarrah.

Stunning piece of work. Well done.

Congratulations from me too. A fascinating exploration of inventing techniques to solve problems.

I doubt that you will be going in for mass production though!

Congratulations, Derek.

Trouble is, it's too lovely for you to settle down on for your well-deserved rest!

The weaving gives way more character to the chair. Nicely done. 8)

Another vote for the woven seat and congratulations on a job well done.

Also thanks for the WIP. It's comforting for me to see that a project like this doesn't happen overnight, even for a real craftsman.

Well done, that is a lovely piece of work, you must be well chuffed, and the woven seat is an improvement. Bet you haven't let anyone sit on it yet!

That's a lovely chair and woven does it for me. Well done, Derek.

Thanks for posting all this. I've enjoyed watching - a very nicely crafted piece of work. And I like the woven seat, it updates it a bit in a sypathetic way - though I have to admit the original design is a long way from my taste !
