Prototype chair

[Brian Harnett]

Just made up this chair I wanted a delicate design for some dining tables I have in mind I need to work out a few things but overall I like it.

My wife weaved the seat and back she does caning too but it hard to price it out caned, and we don't really care for doing pressed cane.

She also helps with assembly and finishing at times when I get overwhelmed.

Very nice.

Wow Brian! Really sharp!

Two thumbs up to you & your wife! I love the weave - it really makes the chair 'pop'.

You two make quite the team. Not sure which I like more, the wood or the weaving. Elegant.

I like to have her involved, we actually met when I worked as a designer at a company years ago, she was hired for finishing she is way more detail orientated than me.

Hey Brian, any chance of renting her out? Very cool, I like it. So next step is to 3d carve the cane part right? Russ

Beautiful Brian. Takes my wife 3 years to get around to sewing a button back on!
I wonder if you want to have the seat a little closer to the top of the side rails for those folks with a larger "caboose".

Dave thats exactly one of the changes I have in mind on the design as well as lowering the leg tops my wife fits fine and I do but someone larger would feel a bit constrained.

Where can I learn to weaved like that? Any books you recommend
