Re: Thomas Jefferson's Campeche Chair
How ironic you should come up with this now. I was in a big search for some plans a few months ago. Ended up coming up with my own, using a few measurements I got off a repro chair sold at Montecello. Photos of a finished chair are available on their website. I did my joinery a little differently than you so will be interested in hearing how you build yours. You say "simple" mortise and tennon joints, but those are not easy on a curved surface or one that joins at an angle as several of these do with the arm and supports. Cutting the angled overlap "X" joint will be a challenge to. I'll also be real interested in how you attach the leather. I ended up upholstering mine. Thanks for doing this. It's a great chair; elegant and comfortable.
