some bubinga chairs

 

good to go!  off to the west coast later this week!

 

we recently completed 10 bubinga chairs for a client in california

who made his own bubinga table during the covid lockdown

 and i must admit, he did a most impressive job!

 

back in 2003, we made this dining table with a slab of bubinga

from goodhope hardwoods and the sideboard and chairs from another.

the chairs are a contemporary adaption of our classic transitional chairs

which are an adaptation we made from an original fully upholstered 

beidermeier style chair that we copied for some clients in the early/mid 90s.

 

we also made these 8 mahogany and maple burl chairs and sent them 

to hawaii with this claro walnut slab table

however, since at that time i had 4 guys in the shop, i did not

have much to do with their construction 

so, fortunately, Kristian is up to speed on the cnc so he took over figuring out the 

joinery and programming to cut the parts ...

and there were a lot of parts ...

also fortunately, we had a mockup side chair and a mockup arm chair we

made when we did previous runs of these chairs.

since we have a new cad/cam program for the cnc, we weren't

able to use the existing files, but Kristian was able to use our 

existing cad drawings to cut the new parts.

all glued up and at the upholsterers now, awaiting their seats and

their upcoming cross country trip!

the chairs and the sideboard we made way back then ...
