   Beautiful chair. I'm wondering, though, what would it look like if the front legs echoed the lines of the back? Maybe awful, who knows....

   Thanks. I'll let you know how a different leg style looks when I build the next version. The first version was posted on January 22nd 2011. Any thoughts on which elements you like among the two versions would be appreciated.

   Its hard to compete with the orginal which you can see on the Antiques Roadshow website. The original 1910 chair is valued at $80,000 - $120,000. Maybe one day....

   I like them both. Like your earlier version a little more. As I look at both, the front legs seem to compete for attention with the rest of the chair...especially its back. That's a shame as the back is quite spectacular. I'm still wondering what they'd look like if the front legs were plainer and clamored less for our eyes' attention.

   you could try a drawing program ACAD or sketchup to get a pretty good picture of it even before you make a mock up or even photo shop and editing programs! ain't technology great?
