Another one of the LJ classics. It's still an eye-catching design.
Thanks Ross! Are trying to sort through my projects and decide what to showcase here. This one is a personal favorite of mine
When I sit in a chair with a more vertical back, I tend to slide forward a bit it the seat is too "slick". Do you find that an issue with the front-to-back lacing in the seat? Crosswise would give a bit more grip or even a full cross lacing of the seats. Given your comments about the rotting dowels, I'd pay attention to the feet where they contact the ground. A dip in some thin epoxy would seal up the end grain and help out there.
Looking good! Chairs are one of those items that make me hesitate building with all the curves and need for ergonomics. Takes skills to get it all right.
Thanks SpiliterGroup! This kind of rope is a multi-strand one and is not slippery at all. Had a lot of considerations regarding a cross weave but could newer get it to look right and made too manu vertical lines so abandone them.
All wood except the dowels are Siberian larch and the feet does not have any dowels where they contacet the grond. In my experience epoxy does not do a lot of good sealing moisture out but rather tend to keep it in. A sound construction to begin with is definitely the way to go.
This was my first attempt at building with curves and hast to say that it looks way more complicated that it needs to be. Have a go at it, you will be proud!
