Project by Woodbridge posted 10-13-2011 04:31 AM 5102 views 5 times favorited 19 comments I’m new to this forum so I am posting some of my most recent projects. As a hobby woodworker I like to build chairs. When I first saw the hat(?) that Princess Beatrice wore at the recent royal wedding I thought it would make an interesting chair back. So I decided to have some fun and see how it would look as a chair. I wanted to see if I could reproduce the hat’s flowing lines and ribbon shapes out of wood. It gave me a chance to do some carving and shaping. Also, since one of my future projects is a Maloof style rocker I used this as an opportuity to use a Maloof type joint to attach the back legs to the chair seat. I prefer chairs with a high back, so I streteched the design of the hat vertically. Since this was a bit of an experinent it is made of pine. It is finished with a water based stain, to match as close as possible the colour of the fascinators which is described as a “tea rose”. Not my favortite colour. If I were to do it again I would use a more natural wood colour -- Peter, Woodbridge, Ontario Woodbridge 3723 posts in 3276 days Embed This Project LumberJocks | HTML | URL/IMG Preview this project card Woodbridge's Projects Everyone's Projects Project tags/keywords
