I can't say I'm making progress on the wingback chair project, but I put some more time in to it last night:


How do you cover curved, tapered arms? Whose brilliant idea was it to try to make curved, tapered arms?


The wings... yeah. Dozens of mock-ups to come up with the size, shape, height, and angle.
End result: lots of frustration and little bits of cardboard scattered everywhere.


Something like this, kind of, maybe. I dunno, it's looking pretty crappy.


Tricky little bit to cover a gap at the top of the arm.


Using a thin cardboard template as a pattern for a foamcore board cushion back.


Testing for size. The frame is constructed to allow for a 1-inch thick cushion on the seat and on the back.
The plan for the back, however, is... well, it's no longer a "plan" as such, but rather, trial and error.
