It's not the worst thing I've ever made.

Though it's in clamps, it's just a test fit. I'll take it out and do a LOT of sanding be for any gluing happens. I'm making it as a wedding present for a friend of my wife's

...looks like a Mission Style chair, based on the drawing he laid on it, bottom left.

Here's what it will look like completed, though the sides are slightly different. I made this one for myself.

Sorry for changing the subject, but when do you think Luis Tiant is going to get inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame?

Though he's my favorite all time baseball player, sadly, I think no. Though he had a good career ERA and strikeout numbers, 229 wins is just a bit short.

I like Mission Style furniture. Made some myself before I got tired of woodworking. Got plans for a mission style coffee table that had a top with a stained glass top insert that was the sh*t. Gave that peiece of furniture away but should have kept it.

Your project looks like it is coming along nicely.
