Morris chairs - white oak with cherry accents
I followed TWW guild for this one since there were many new-to-me techniques. I found the series of videos and templates/plans extremely helpful, and learned a ton.
The most challenging parts of the project were the damn corbels at the end. ha! Tough to get those compound angles just perfect.
I got a deal on a batch of rough lumber, white oak. It was really rough it turns out... hence the deal I suppose. Not a lot of quarter sawn in the mix, but I was able to make some nice grain choices I think.
For the curved arms and back slats, I decided to do the center laminations in cherry for some visual interest. I then incorporated cherry pins at all key joints for mechanical strength and to continue the accent theme.
I traded some cutting boards to a friend to sew the cushion covers for me.
Doing two chairs at once ended up being ambitious. About 150 parts in total. I ended up using odie's oil to finish... I was just soooo done with this project that considering any other approach was beyond my energy reserves.
The wife is happy, and this is what is most important.
