The seat is angled and flared and the stretchers are splayed as too, making simple lap joints complicated. Selecting grain for the top to maximized figure without becoming too narrow/short.
Construction: Three legs to eliminate rocking. Mechanical joints, chosen for speed, with wedged/drawbored joints where possible, mostly hand cut, but machines utilized often. Divided sculpted seat highlights book matched walnut crotch figure (and provides a wordplay of sorts)
Ideas for the next Build-Off.
- A shop item if possible
- Another seat, but with a different purpose
- Something box or storage related
- A functional tool: specific (mallet, plane) or open ended
- Something that fits within given dimensions
