Here is what I promised my wife for Christmas. Already a work in progress, inspired by a nice pile of 4' Jatoba cutoffs I had unused for 2 years and a few red alder boards. So glad to be putting this really nice lumber to a good use. I asked her Monday why she has yet to ask what I have been working on all through the week and weekend. She said that "considering the time of year asking questions didn't seem appropriate" - smart lady . Anyway - I've another week of work and some mock up sessions to determine the best fit for the seat and angle for the back.

Wanted to get my wife involved so that we can do the mock up sizings together and to discuss the style options of the cushions. Leaning to leather and possibly 2 cushions rather than 3. So far she likes it . I'll post photos when it's all done.
