My wife's niece would like to have a child's "time out" chair. I said to myself....Self...you can do that. So I started looking for a simple design to build. I found this chair online that should work well and am happy with the overall dimensions shown however I am only guessing at the width of some of the pieces as well as the thickness of the material itself. I'm making this out of Sassafras wood.
Looking at the plans, I'm guessing the thickness of the wood to be 3/4". I'm guessing the legs to be about 2" wide??? I'm guessing the seat supports to be about 3" wide??? After cutting my material to these sizes I'm questioning the width, as they look a little "bulky". I don't want to start gluing things together THEN decide the dimensions are too wide. So have a look at this chair and tell me what width you would make them. I'm going to change the seat and back to solid pieces instead of slats so my wife can paint a "saying" on them so I'm not concerned with those dimensions .
Thanks
