This is my first attempt at building a chair. I must admit it was quite tricky and I took quite a while thinking about the initial shape which changed a few times during its design. I probably over did some of the engineering on it as I refused to change the shape that I wanted. Its actually scaled down to suit a child of 8 as I wanted to iron out any problems I might have with a full scale version which will come in the future.

I finished it with Tung Oil and left it for a month. I still have to give it a bit of a sanding with some 'wet & dry' and then i intend to wax it.


Design or Plan used: My own design
