   I always enjoy seeing these designs tweaked to your tastes, and I love the three-piece back. To your question, you can put Waterlox or a similar varnish-based finish over Danish oil if you want a little more protection. That said, I use Danish Oil by itself on many of my chairs and have yet to encounter a problem. Beautiful work and attention to graining.

   Thanks guys! Many days working on this chair, I had a big old smile on my face. Except the days I was fitting the back splats. Thanks for the kind words Matthew. The reason I was thinking about a wipe on poly, is that my 3 year old son is a painfully messy eater.
   I've put too much work into the chair to end up with a life time of food stains.

   How ironic! I've been trying to get up the courage to tackle the Matthew Teague chair for about 2 years now. I've watched the videos so much I feel like Matt and I are old friends. I finally started on it about a month and a half ago. Last night I finally cut the back splat to length. Once I shape and mortise it all I'll need to do is glue it up and upholster the seat.

   I'm making a prototype 1st out of yellow pine. Then I plan to buy enough Ash to make 5 chairs.

   After seeing your chair I don't know that I'll post pictures of my "pine" chair. Your's looks great.

   Matthew Teague, thanks for the project videos, I've learned a lot from you.

   To Mathew. I tried to buy you chair plan from the Taunton store but it is not in stock. Any idea if they will restock this plan?
