   Could you talk about your joinery on the legs and seat back to seat? I'm hoping it has something sneaky to add strength! Cool look.

   What a great form, all pieces complementing on each other. I do really want to know about the joinery as well. In my opinion mortis and tenon works best for this type of design. The shape and the form of the back, shows a lot of thought on counter balancing the leaning force of the upper body.

   Great piece.

   They look very nice from the rear. How about posting a picture with each chair rotated 90 degrees from the previous so that we could see how well they looked from the side and front.

   hey you all, the joinery:
   these chairs turned out very strong. i dadoed out the seat for the 8/4 legs, notched the leg leaving enough material on it to have contact at the seat bottom. once the glue dries, a self-tapping screw goes in through the leg into the seat for a strong joint.
   the neck of the chair is dowels(2) where it meets the back, and 2 more screws come up through the seat into the neck from below.
   i haven't chunked one out the window like sam maloof did, but a guy weighing in at 385 lbs. sat in it and it took him no prob.

   thank you for the comments.
   more photos to come.
