    Cafe' table and chairs

    Here is some new work that I've made for some art shows and a local contest called innovationErie. It's all solid cherry with wenge inlays in the chair backs. The table is 36" tall so the stools could be used also at a kitchen island or bar. If you are in the area, you can see them at the meadville council on the arts starting june 14th along with more of my work.

    Very nice work. The chairs are great. I really like the wenge inlay. You should call them "corset" chairs!

    Wow, those are freakin great! I love the feel of it all - a nouveau flavor, but completely original too. Great design. Congratulations.

    Beautiful design and execution!
    No doubt the chairs are stout but they look almost too delicate to sit on.

    Wow x infinity +1. You got everything right with those chairs. I can't even imagine how much hand shaping they must have taken. Excuse me while I go throw out my tools.

    Brian, I'm a square thinker, so seeing projects like this just puzzles me. My compliments on a great set. I'd love to have something like this.
