The Spectator/Billiard chairs are finished and I thought I would post a couple of pictures. Thanks to several of you for the suggestions a few weeks ago on cutting the corners of the through mortises with a chisel by hand. It went well, just kinda slow. I would get a mortising machine if I had to do many of these! They will go in my pool/game room

Cool and well done. I like the through m&t joinery, proportions and upholstery. However I don't think the prefab appliques on the backrest complement and do justice to all the hand work you did.

I like these chairs but like Danceswithticks, I don't like the decorative pieces on the seat back. They don't match the style in my opinion and I can't imagine they would be comfortable to lean against. Is this your design? I am searching for a design suitable to modify into dining room chairs and I like this a lot. Ken

Boy, those look sharp, very nice work. I like the contrast between the wood and the dark upholstery, too.

Very nice indeed!!! Makes me want to go out and buy a pool table just so I have an excuse to build a couple of those

Thanks for the comments. They were fun to build, but took longer than I thought. All my projects seem to.
