Potaliesen Barrel Chair

This is my version of a Frank Loyd Wright Taliesen barrel chair. I was inspired to make one after seeing one posted by James Mcintyre. Trying to figure out the exact dimensions was difficult because no plans are available anywhere i could find. Steve Rasmussen was very helpful in sending me some drawings he was able to create. That gave me a close proximity to what i needed. I had no intention of doing an exact copy so i worked with what i had. The chair is made from 8/4 & 3/4 cherry. Sizes are, seat h=17", seat w=20", seat d=19", arm rest h=28" and back rest is 7" above arm rail. Finish is 4 coats of Maloof formula. Plugs are ebony. basically this chair is a blend of FLW design and Sam Maloof woodworking style. Here are some build pic's.

This is one drawing i was able to find that gave some dimensions.

This is what i started with, creating a template to make the two arches that the chair basically grows from.

The segments are cut at approximately 15 degrees. I used the glue block idea i got from a recent project that Bryan Benham uses. Works very well and the blocks pop right off attached with ca glue.

Top and bottom arches made from 8/4 cherry. Cut out on the band saw.

Seat made from 8/4 cherry using a Maloof pattern used on the rocker. Carved out first with a 4" grinder using a holey galahad disc.

These work very well and are easy to control. Next i switch to a 4" flap disc on the grinder to smooth it out more.

After that final sanding was done with a 5" ROS and for the tight radius on the seat edges i use a bowl sanding disc.

Testing out the fit on the seat in the chair frame. Parts are assembled using dominos and 3" #10 wood screws.

Brackets where the legs attach to the seat.

Glue up of the back rest, 4 rings made from 8/4 cherry. Each ring is slightly beveled then was shaped one again with the galahad and flap sander. 

Back rest attached and shaped and sanded.

Arms shaped and attached.

Final assembly and glue up. The back spokes are attached with 3/8" dowels. This was a fun glue up. I used titebond extended glue for this.

Final shaping and sanding. 

Ive been criticised in the past for not showing enough of my process for projects so i hope this satisfies (LBD) people ! 
any questions please ask. I do not have any drawings other that what ive shown. I didn't even do one of my simple crude drawings. Everything evolved off the two arches.
And i even went so far as to use capitols !!!!!
