Chair Progress

These pictures don't show the 4 days of sanding at various grits that Eric has been doing. He is slowly working the grooves down to a beautiful smoothness. I believe he is on the last round of sanding. He decided to leave some of the divots of the material to show its character. It is really a beautiful piece - considering it came from scrap wood from a construction site.



It is very light and airy, surprisingly. And with a coat of tongue oil or poly (depending if are feeling eco or not), it should be gorgeous. Eric says this one is way too labor intensive to be mass produced so he's going to try a bend ply one next on a mold.

I think we will most likely have to open a gallery space for all of Eric's chairs...

We agree...a gallery would be great! Can't wait for the final showing.
