Did you buy plans, or just wing it?

No plans. Did mock ups until it looked right and was comfortable sitting.

I have nothing of value to add . . . . . . just WOW!! If I ever make chairs (and they're on my list) I want to make them just like THAT!!!
Wonderful,

The crotch grain was only on 2 so we designated those the Captain chairs. Yes made the table also. Posted it about a year ago. Thanks

These chairs are based on chairs made by Appalacian joinery in Ashville NC. All joints are draw bored. These chairs took forever because there was significant handwork involved. Thought I was going to wear my spokeshave out? Also included a picture of one of the 2 sconces i also make when I took a brake from the chairs. I now just have a chest on stand left to make to complete the dinning room. Thanks for looking. Comments welcome.
I like them. What style would you call that.
