Hello folks,
I just finished the chair, took some pictures and planted her inside. It is based off the classic Maloof low back chair. I tried to incorporate the natural character and beauty that I see in walnut with the knot and sapwood. It is a danish oil finish.
Critiques and comments welcome.
Good day,
Kyle

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

Terrific job, Kyle. Excellent wood selection, joinery, and shaping.
It must have been quite a challenge to shape the area around the knot.

Excellent choice of wood and beautiful workmanship. Outstanding piece of work.

The chair was freehand looking at different pictures of Sam's chairs. There are a couple of different ideas I would like to try with the next one if there is another.
Jay,
The knot actually wasn't a problem, I had sent epoxy through the knot before beginning any of the work.
