Thanks Duck, I will show it in the next installment but I am actually using some redbud wood that I salvaged from a dead tree from my sister's yard.  It was dead for several years and is pretty worming but redbud is beautiful wood and I will am filling the worm holes with died epoxy.   I am actually making two of them so that both chairs match.
