Chair

[andrey vm]

Hi everyone!
I have just finished to make a chair.
The design is based on idea of balance between a retro and a modernism.
I have attached pics of the process of work.
My apologies for the quality of the pics (in advance - I don't know how clear they are).
The dark timber is american walnut, the light timber is caucasian cherry and american cherry.
Used glues : Kleiberit PUR501, Kleiberit 152.0 (contact), Silva Aqua D3.
The finish is mix from parquet varnish (50%) and turpentine (50%).
This is my first effort in making of a wooden ergonomic seat of a chair. In Russia such seats of chairs are unpopular. Therefore the information on methods making was not. It was necessary to guess independently and intuitively.
The work most part became hand tools.
The legs were laminated from pine lamels 5mm and walnut veneer 1,5 mm and additional perpendicular veneer 0,6 mm.
All joints are mortice-and-tenon. Chair back is laminated from birch waterproof plywood 3 mm.

Nice one Andrey. At first I wasn't keen on the design, but when I started looking at the flow of the legs & back, and then how everything else flows, as well as the workmanship, it won me.

Many thanks!
I have attached WIP for the first time. It has appeared simply. Now with pleasure I will always tell about the work and experience.


I like the blonde spade feet on the front legs.
The most standard and widespread is the cherry from the USA. And I for these decorative details and a chair seat used the Caucasian cherry. It is local russian breed of a wood , growing in mountains of the North Caucasus. This cherry is much more light and is softer, than American and is easier ground. Therefore I have chosen this wood for relief details.


. First look says a lot of work went into it.

It was very difficult. Work time - six weeks. Sometimes it was similar to a logic puzzle or a rebus.
