Dining chair in Poplar. Wanted to do a practice run before saving up for some walnut or cherry. Some great handtool practice on this project.

Construction timber (pine) from local builder’s merchant; finished with 3 coats of antique pine tint Danish Oil and waxed. Taking the 1/2 inch off the back legs made a real difference to the comfort of the chair.

Finished chair for my daughter, made out of spruce, painted with basil color milk paint, upholstered with real leather, a beauty! A chair that may last for two centuries, for sure.

My first more involved type project. This is local (Ohio) Black Walnut. I decided to use slats with knots for visual appeal (not sure?). Solely through my own stupidity, I must have make 3 sets of the combination angle bottom rails. Maybe it will help you, but I kept cutting these rails to the distance between the front to the rear legs. Of course, when I formed their tenons the rails were short. I really needed to cut length of the rail length PLUS the length of its 2 tenons!!!

Dining Chairs by Richard Taylor
I built two chairs to match a sitting table. I used red oak and finished the project with an oil/varnish mixture. The final coat was an oil and spar varnish mix. As you can see I made several variations on Paul’s plans for the chair but the basic design was used. Figuring out how to add my design changes into Paul’s design was very challenging but also very rewarding. These are the first chairs I’ve ever built and really learned a lot. Thanks Paul, don’t think I could have done it without your videos and clear explanations on how to do each step. You are an incredible resource.
