I've built a prairie style morris chair and am getting down to the seat. I think I'll use four inches of high density foam for the bottom cushion and I'm at the point of deciding on the bottom panel. Any thoughts from people who have built a morris chair of any style?
I wanted an exact reproduction so I used Bob Lang's Plans, but there's no real indication of cushion dimensions. Any thoughts from people who have built the Stickley No. 416 "Prairie" Chair?
I think I'll try a bow armed morris next, but I had to try this odd looking chair. It's bigger than I thought but lot's of fun little problems.
So Specifically my questions are:
-Webbed or solid panel?
-Thickness of foam on bottom cushion?
-And for anyone who's built the Stickley No. 416 "Prairie" Chair, what the heck are the dimensions of the cushions? How thick are they and how far do they project past the chair itself?
Thanks for the look.
