Out of curiosity have you ever worked with that funny bending wood that Chris has written about on the LAP in the past? I have not, nor have I tried bent laminations for that matter, but just wondering if it would be able to do the same without laminations.
Hi Derrick. I haven't used that wood. I looked into at one point...seemed a little pricey for the risky (possibly near certain failure) that I wanted to achieve. Some day I'll give it a go, but not yet.
Beautiful chair. Nicely done. Just wondering did you use a wide belt sander on the laminations?
No...just off the table saw. I'd have gone with the sander if I had one in the shop.
This is a cool looking chair.

Wow, I would say you knocked that one out of the park! What a great chair! Awesome bend as well! You are a craftsman indeed!!
thanks for the kind words...this was a fun one.
