I've been working on these chairs on and off for a while and finally finished them (see pix). The one on the left is a bowback side chair and the one on the right is a sackback.
Finish is black milk paint with shellac over it. I left the spindles natural (just shellac) to create some contrast in the chair.
I have to sell them - my wife doesn't like Windsor chairs and we don't have any room for them. The Orange County Fair is coming up - I'll enter them, not to win anything, but because I can sell the chairs through the fair. People who are interested leave their contact info and I contact them after the fair is over.
I'll ask $300 for the bowback and $350 for the sackback. That's cheap enough that I should get some takers, even in this market.
