Wow!

I know a guy locally who makes these for about $1500 each. (don't ask me why, his
work is great, but still..)

CA Cav? Surely you meant Hut friction polish?

Wow! I'm impressed! I've been thinking about making chairs and a table for the dining room, but chairs scare me so its still just a thought in my head.

Anyway, great work! Any idea on the time commitment for each chair?

Thanks kids for the kind words. Tried the CA finish couldn't seem to hold the MM steady enough as the lathe turned to suite me!! Zack, prolly got 10 hrs in each start to finish. There is 30 mortise and tennons per chair, 12 cut at 4 degrees, 8 that have to be hand cut. These were a first for me and I don't want any more, thank you!!

Naw Chris, I like his smiling Bob avatar, the guy is one of my heroes, I'd clove to have the line of women he has looking so happy. I can just barely get a grin from my wife, his women smile ear to ear and then some.

By the way the chairs are awesome, I wish I could do work like that.!!!!
