Copper Stitched Chair

Well after a while and a few interruptions I finally finished the chair..
Rippled sycamore the back rest is stitched together with copper boat nails.. This adds another little quirk to the chair although it was a bit of a challenge.. But that's why I do it, I like the challenge of an evolving design and resolving design issues as they arise.. So here it is folks..;b

What About This...

I was given this.. By a friend who knows my interests..
And when he found this he thought of me..
So now I'm the owner of this cool little treadle operated Hobbies fret saw..
It does work but it requires a belt and some tlc...
Which I'll happily tackle... ;b
