Simple Side Chair in Jatoba and Oak

The third chair on my way to making a set of 4 similar but subtly different side chairs.  I found an 8/4 chunk of oak laying at the bottom of the cutoff bin, from some project I have long since forgotten about (that is to say, older that 6 months).  And surprisingly, there was another 8/4 length of jatoba left over from a table build long ago alongside it.  I played around with the parts layout and realized I could just get a chair out of it if I used the oak for the vertical parts and the jatoba for the horizontal pieces.  The seat pan is 3/8" Baltic birch.  In my fervor to use up these scrap pieces, though, I completely neglected to take photos of the construction steps.

All joinery is mortise and tenon.  Mortices are cut with my Jet table top mortise machine, and the tenons made with the horizontal router attachment on my home-built CNC.  Curved pieces were rough cut on the band saw and smoothed using a spoke shave and spindle sander.  All edges were rounded over with a 1/2" radius bit on the router table, and final hand sanding with 80 grit, 120 grit, and 0000 steel wool.  Finish is 4 coats of Minwax tung oil hand rubbed, with a light 0000 steel wool buff between coats to knock off those pesky nibs.

My upholstery skills have improved somewhat from miserable to almost not half bad.

I think I am finally getting the rhythm and flow of making these compound angle joints, so after the fourth chair (digging deeper into the cutoff bin), I'll move on to more elaborate designs.  It finally penetrated my thick skull that I should have made 1/4" ply templates on the CNC at the start, but with only one to go, don't think that will happen.

This goes to live with its two other mates at a friend's home, where, because they spend all their time climbing impossible ice-bound mountains, the only chairs they had were 'rescued' from a roadside discard heap.
