Well, the missus asked me to make some chairs for a new table we have...of course I agreed (you try saying no to her)...but I do get to add a personal touch to each one of the four...guess this would be the upper back piece to mine! :D
Should have the first one finished in the next couple of days, so I will post another pic then...she wants faeries on hers. Go fig.
Greg

Chair?? More like a throne. Awesome!!!! 8) :octopus:

Sweet Greg!

You can make my chairs anytime, for free of course :heee:

very cool!.... how many you making?

We all want to come to dinner at your house!

Melissa

4-6 chairs...4 to start, and we will see how wiped out I am by that time! All that carving wreaks havoc on one's hands!
so far, we have the octopus, a faery chair, one with PT boats (obsession of mine also) and who knows what...
Boy. Wood has sure gotten expensive! :shock:
Thanks for all the positive feedback...I'll keep on sending in pics as they progress!
Greg

Im sure you'll end up with aviper or similar will you not? ;)

Hmm...in the sense of fair play, I will probably have to let her make up her mind on the fourth chair...( things go SOOOO much easier when she is happy !)
As long as it isn't fluffy bunnies or some-such, I will be ok...hehe..
Greg

Didn't you mention something about her being a Neil Diamond fan?Neil

Nice work, though. I can hardly wait to see the rest of 'em.

Very Nice!!! :notworth:

Is this a hobby??? You could make some serious money!!!!

Carol

Don't even mention Neil Diamond !!!!! YIKES!!!!! As Dr. SOS would say :"crikey!" :lol:
I've been making furniture for a while now...it's a nice compliment to working in the studio, and gives me a chance to get my hands dirty (plus buy more tools...tools are fun...hehe...). I have been selling more and more pieces lately, you might be on to something Carol!
Once again, thanks for all the nice feedback all !! :)

LOL sounds like you have been married twenty years already :)

Im sure you'll end up with aviper or similar will you not? ;)

A coiled up rattler would look pretty neat, :wink: good luck on those hands though.

Ever try Ebay on a peice??? I know I wouldn't mind owning an "Octo Chair"!!!!

Carol

Finally got the first one stained and applied the first three of seven coats of finish...lots more sanding and varnishing!
every piece is fitted mortise and tenon, with pegs to hold it all together...nice sturdy construction! :D
Greg

Dude... :notworth:

Very nice!!!!! :notworth:

Very nice, and sooooo much better than Ikea.

I'm going to go with :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: , instead.

:shock: Greg, that is AWESOME!

That looks wonderful! How are the other chairs comin along? And btw, whats in the tank?

That is my tank for African Butterflyfish, currently just with dither fish, as I am uncertain as to just what I want to put in it! Maybe just a few hundred neon tets or something for a while...
Glad you all like the chair...will post pics of the next couple!
Greg

I can't forget those fish, I scared them somehow sometime back and they all jumped out, two fell on the floor and another fell into a tank with a huge red-eared slider here it was snape in two. The two on the floor survived, luckily no one saw me :heee:
