I have not posted here in some time now, been crazy busy as usual! I thought I would share this though...I made a Stickley Slant Arm Morris style chair from baltic birch plywood. I went to the Stickley store South Park area in Charlotte. I took measurements and created the model in sketch up. Once I completed that in sketch up, I designed the chair so when you look at the "front" of the chair you would see the plys kind of like seeing the quarter sawn white oak Stickley loves to use. Also, when you look at the side of the chair you'll only see the birch face (except on the front and rear rail because of the tenon going through the leg).
This was a pretty cool build because the construction is plywood, and many components are made of layers of plywood. Also, I used 90% CNC, 10% power tools. I constructed the chair by using a thru mortise, blind mortise. The arms I actually made those so they would *SNAP* on...so you would have to bend the arm slightly in order for the tenon I made fit into the slot. I thought that was pretty cool. I used my mortiser in some areas, I used my hand router in some areas. Sorry I don't know how to flip some of the pictures.
