I cut out and glued up the QSWO legs for my Morris chair today. I'll never use this beautiful and expensive wood for this purpose again. I nearly cried as I glued the gorgeous flecks and rays to the INSIDE OF A CHAIR LEG! :gar-Cr Where it will NEVER be seen!:wsad: In the future I'll laminate...
LOML has a recliner that is on its last leg (read well worn) it is an upholstered high wing-back recliner. She does not want to repair it; she is looking for something different.

I discussed a reclining Morris chair project I had completed with a couple of members in the past and promised to send pictures. I have forgotten who the individuals were so I will post for all to see. The chair is constructed of solid hard maple. Legs are 2 1/4" square and the back splats are...
I recently scored a hundred bdft of QSWO (a couple of slabs are curly QSWO) and wanted to build an Arts and Crafts Morris Chair. I'm looking for plans...does anyone have any suggestions where I could get a really good set of plans (would also like to have the ottoman with it).
