    Talking Dining Chairs - Finally FINISHED

    Well......... Thank God for that!!

    I didn't think they would take soooo long. Overall I'm quite pleased with the end result & SWMBO is chuffed they are ready for the family Xmas gathering.

    Anyway here is the first look at the finished chairs, I'll do some better pictures a little later.

    Cheers

    you must have the patience of a saint.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    top job Maj.

    To finish 8 chairs like that takes some real effort and skill.......now hurry up cos the dining table needs to be done by New years Eve!

    Major Sir, you've excelled. I paid 250 bucks each for custom made Tas Oak and Leather chairs 10 years ago and they don't look anywhere as good as your effort. In fact I've had to repair the joints in the legs of 3 of mine.
    Fantastic work mate. SWMBO must be ecstatic.

    We salute you sir.

    They look wonderful Major.

    I do like the colours used too.

    I should drop around with my 2yo to help you give them that special loved finish he is giving everything in our house - including the poor little dogs

    You have another reason to celebrate this holiday - I am sure you will get many years treasured service from them.

    Is the covering a suade or material?
    Cheers

    Quality and quantity! Great stuff Major. The contrasting back slats look good, and the cushions match well.
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.
