I like what you did with the arms also and the offset placement to the post.<br /><br />I had to pick up my Santore book since there was something about how you shaped the seat that reminded me of something. Don't laugh but look at page 90 of the second volume edition, I think you may see some similarities. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03303473701895458319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-85260383496223576772012-09-28T05:44:38.580-05:002012-09-28T05:44:38.580-05:00Pete, that is one gorgeous chair.

Love the new features; subtle yet dramatic.<br />It's interesting that you felt there was not much difference in the sitting department regardless the change in the carving. Reminds me that with chairs, as long as you have the basic requirements for comfort and strength sorted out , variations on a theme are pretty much limitless.Bernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10345033254036913071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-72243364402849698622012-09-27T20:36:09.472-05:002012-09-27T20:36:09.472-05:00Peter, what a beautifully honed design - Bravo!

The only reason that it is so visible is because of the way that the light bounces off of the (subtly) different planes. I basically took the geometry of a shield seat, like a continuous arm would have, and instead of the pommel in the middle, I chamfered back the front. Where the thighs pass over the front edge is barely perceptible to the touch, which is why I can only pull it off in walnut!Peter Galberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206420121702258974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-49608447890811873292012-09-27T14:25:52.588-05:002012-09-27T14:25:52.588-05:00Pete - The chair is absolutely beautiful.

I love the lines of the seat but was wondering how you were able to get the line on the front curve of the saddling to be prominent enough to see, yet comfortable when the thigh rides over it? Great work!Ray Schwanenbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15044622377753605626noreply@blogger.com
