Re: Louis XV Style Chair

Sorry guy's, there really isn't any plans for this chair. I just drew a full size pattern on craft paper and worked things out as I went. I searched all over the internet looking for some plans on this kind of chair myself and came up blank. So I guess you chould say this is a one of kind. I did keep all the patterns though. Some of the parts there are no patterns for however. Like the crest rail, it was just shaped as I went and fit to the chair.

And your right it was a challenge!
