Spot the difference



This is my Bloganonymous Daughter's chair.

We made it together to her design and had a fun couple of days.

So what's different ?

Well, no legs at the back. That makes it look a bit strange, and it's a visual puzzle that it stays up at all. Of course, the arms are slimmer, as nobody, but NOBODY, likes the fat arms on mine. (Except for me. I love them and can a get a morning's books on them.)

And last of all, the back slats are only 5 in number, rather than my 7. And the curve at the top is Bloganonymous Daughter's own.

The timber is all old mahogany. Some of it has had at least two lives, the latest being as university lecture desks - the long type fond in lecture rooms everywhere. All the wood is recycled, and we cut the thing out with very little waste. Most larger offcuts can be used in other projects.

You might not think it, but these chairs are amazingly comfortable. You certainly don;t feel in a rush to get up again.

This one went off in the BD's car almost as soon as it was finished.
