Lightweight Morris Chair

Last year we did a set of lounge chairs for a customer considering a typical Morris chair, but who wanted something much lighter weight and that had a mid century/arts and crafts influence to them. A framework was designed that is recognizable to both styles and Butternut wood was chosen for its light weight and semi open grain that connects the typical mahogany or white oak used in chairs in those time periods.The resulting chair is very comfortable and lightweight. We were recently asked to do another set of four. Below are some progress photos. Completed project can be found here.
