Work of a true craftsman Gerhard. :clap: That is going to be a beautiful heirloom for generations. The most comfortable chair I have ever had is an old Morris chair with a Johnson bar. A forerunner to the modern recliners. Be sure to put a pic of the finished chair up.

I love the Morris style chair that you have made. Being a woodworker I can apppreciate the time that you spent cutting all the joints etc. Even nicer when you can add to the history of it by tieding into the bank. I am sure those chairs will be talked about and used for many generations. :ddb: :ddb:

It might be an idea while people are still alive to look into the history of the door and bank and write up a little card and fasten it to the bottom and maybe another on on the inside hidden by the upholstry. That way a 100 years from now someone looking at the chairs will know the whole history of the chair and say "wasn't that nice of Gerhard to enclose this writeup of the history of the chair".  :D :D

Cheers  :beer:

That is a fantastic idea! Well done that man! That is the sort of small touch that can really make a piece of furniture personalised. Must pull my Land Of Leather sofas apart to see if they have thought of this and included a picture of the cows that made up my sofa.....
But seriously, I really like that idea.

Gerhard Olivier:
I have tried to find some history but only person that knows anything is landlord and he only remembers all the trouble it was to break everything down.

Maybe just put a little sign to give date and adress that the wood was recycled from. As that at least I have.
