Chairs
A pair of dining room armchairs made of walnut with a leather slip-seat. These were built during a week-long chair-making class with Ben Hobbs in N.C. One was built by myself and one by Ben; can you tell which is which :) ?

These are my first chairs. It was a great learning experience for me; angled joinery as well as shaping complex curves and some carving. Note: It took just as long to make the arms as the rest of the chair!
