Took 3 months to complete but the 10 walnut chairs are finally done! 8 are for the dinning room and the other 2 were given to a daughter and daughter-in-law. 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.
There are two theories to arguing with a woman... neither works.

Beautiful work, Rick. Can you share some construction details especially on how you formed the curves in the chair seat and back? Are they laminations or did you start with solid stock and use that poor spokeshave to form them?
