Dining chairs
Finally got around to making new chairs for our dining room (made cherry chairs before but our entire house is walnut so I wanted walnut chairs to match the walnut table).

Re: Dining chairs
Wow! Very impressive Russell.
That takes a lot of walnut. It's got to give you a great sense of satisfaction knowing you made them and they'll last for several lifetimes. I'd love to see a picture of them when they're finished.

Russell,
You are not putting long screws through the center of the joints like the normal Maloof style joint?

Re: Dining chairs
I am not using screws on these. I use them on my rocking chairs because of the added stress from rocking. I don't use them on my stools, and only use them in certain situations on chairs. The front legs on these chairs are similar to my stools, and the joint is plenty strong to last for generations without the screw. The back leg has the added support from the two rails forming the back rest that sit into 3/4" deep mortises. Without that bottom rail adding support so close to the back leg joint, I would use 3" #14 screws to add support.

Re: Dining chairs
Russell,
Beautiful work, as usual. Thank you for taking the time to show us how you do your chairs. I am always intrigued by your jigs and your super accuracy in the joints...and more than a bit envious, too. I still go back and study your posts on your rockers for tips.

Re: Dining chairs

Re: Dining chairs
Thanks for the update Russell, always better if you can see the process through from start to finish. Sure they will be an inspiration to many on the forum, same as other examples of your work you have posted.
