Restored 'teachers' chair
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)

These I built our on new red oak.New castors completed the job. The chair was stained and topcoat with Varathane clear finish.The colors were chosen to match the two desks I made for the grandkid-students in their classroom (in our home).My wife's father was a professor of engineering, and so it is fitting that his favourite chair would pass on to his teacher-daughter.
