Emily’s Highchair v1.6 Done Baby Done!
Well thank goodness that is done. The seat is finished and ready to go. I still have to make a table top, but their is no rush on that as the chair is the present.
Weaving the seat with paper rush was harder than I thought ti would be. The top side looks really nice, but the under is a bit of a mess. Part of the problem is the thickness of the knotting of adjoining lengths. It wanted to pull the strands apart leaving unattractive voids in the pattern.
The cardboard added to the final tightness of the project. It also helped keep a visual eye on keeping the lines going straight towards the center.
Finshed top of the seat. I will not be showing the underside. (I do have some pride)
I love it. Now to make up a strap in belt and a cushion rail (she is still really small for this kids chair).
Congratulations on a beautiful job!! An heirloom to be treasured.
Thank You Isabelle,
I want to make myself a period chair much like Emily’s, but I am restraining myself as I need to practice other woodworking skills more than turning. I want to be an allrounder, and not just a turner.
