Recently SWMBO came to me and declared, "I need you to build me a chair." I told her, "I'm not skilled enough yet to build anything like a Windsor chair, but I do have something in mind that I could do." At this point I proceeded to describe a chair I'd seen somewhere (I don't recall where though), and she thought that would be great.
So, what I'm looking for is either the name of this particular type of chair and/or some pictures (URLs). I can't really Google this myself as I just don't know what to call this thing. But I can describe it and provide some crude ascii art.
If you were to look at the chair from the side, it might look something like this:
/-\ | | | | | | | | | | /--------------------------\ / \ | /-------------------\ | | | | | | | | | | | | |-------------------| | | |-------------------| | | | | | | \-------------------/ | \ / \--------------------------/
Essentially the sides are frames with the middle open. The tops of the frames are the arm rests. The seat bottom would connect to the vertical sections of the frame. There might also be some stretchers involved (not pictured). The seat bottom and back will probably be plywood that's upholstered.
So I have a fair idea of what one of these things looks like and how it might go together. But before I put one together, I wanted to look at some pictures of other chairs like this and then take the bits I like best to make one for SWMBO.
Thanks!
