Matt,
There is a good book by Jeff Miller called Chairmaking and Design. It is now out of print, but you could probably find a copy in a library or second-hand. His website is interesting too.
There is also a book called Best Seat in the House, by P. Dorman. I have not read this one, but it has been well reviewed.

I have a copy of 'Best Seat in the House.'
There is some general stuff & 4 plans for different styles & instructions how to build them.
I haven't attempted to follow any of them yet.
I also have 'Practical Design Solutions & Strategies' from Fine Woodworking Taunton Press. It has 2 chapters on chairs but no plans.
I also bought a set of plans for a table & chairs from Plans Now.
http://www.plansnow.com/
They are a reprint of an article that appeared in the Woodsmith Magazine in 1998.
I haven't started building them but the plans look good.
Sorry Major, we hi-jacked your thread.
??? Ya lost me Benny, too early in the morning.

If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

Major,
It's good to see you taking a leaf out of the old bitingmidge book of how to do things instantly! You aren't quite there yet, so I suggest you look for a few more diversions for the next year or two before pulling them out again!
It looks fab-oh!
What did you light it with to take the pic?
I'm looking forward to seeing the rest too!
cheers,
P

You have my awe and respect, Major. Exceptional work! Seeing those chairs lined up around a table will make a stunning picture.

Very lovely and unique design. I wonder if the lumbar is a bit proud, Have you sat in them yet? I like them a LOT!!!
Can't wait to see the finished lot and the fancy table they accompany.
Thanks for the posting and keep up the progress.

Chair looks great!!
Whats with the background? Is that night? Or a doctored image?There was a young boy called Wyatt
Who was awfully quiet
And then one day
He faded away
Because he overused White

Looks bloody stunnin Major! Well done
I also wondered about that lumbar being a "tad" proud but figured well if he can take the arched back and consequent pain then who am I to quibble about it!
Believe me there IS life beyond marriage!!! Relax breathe and smile learn to laugh again from the heart so it reaches the eyes!!
