I finally finished 4 of my dana chairs and they make quite a statement Im told. General Arm-R-Seal satin completed the job. It has been a huge adventure since the conception of the idea and making the mini-prototype the doing 4 simultaneously and feedback continues to be very positive, especially a lot of Sam Maloof references along with originality. ENJOY!!   peace, scott gohomeandsit.com

these chairs turned out very strong. i dadoed out the seat for the 8/4 legs, notched the leg leaving enough material on it to have contact at the seat bottom. once the glue dries, a self-tapping screw goes in through the leg into the seat for a strong joint.
the neck of the chair is dowels(2) where it meets the back, and 2 more screws come up through the seat into the neck from below.
i haven't chunked one out the window like sam maloof did, but a guy weighing in at 385 lbs. sat in it and it took him no prob.

thank you for the comments.
more photos to come.

The shape and the form of the back, shows a lot of thought on counter balancing the leaning force of the upper body.

Great piece.
