I did think about that! Ha. Some of the angles and jointing would have been 'interesting' (aka really difficult) to attempt for sure. The thing I thought most about was just how much walnut stock was needed? Several pieces e.g. the top are multiple curved sections with the grain running diagonally across, suggesting either very clever use of planks or a lot of offcuts? Incredible prices though and I can see why in the skill and materials ...though still not sure about metal braces!
That is a beautiful chair and after you've worked your 'Cottack magic' you'd never know that it'd been repaired. Nice.
Thank you! Much appreciated
That was a fine specimen of carpentry.
Love what you did to it.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks André - glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful! You would never know that the chair had to be repaired and that the extra piece of wood didn’t come with the chair.
Thank you Dawn, it was beautiful wood to work with and I'm glad it goes to its new home in one piece again!
Very nice work Bruce on a lovely piece of furniture.
Thanks Brett!
What a beautiful chair.... So. Elegant and timeless.. Think I'd have template that up before returning it Bruce!
