My first upholstery experience

When I first started cutting things with a laser cutter, everything I made was wood. At some point I realized that people used other stuff in every day objects. So I decided to try to make an upholstered chair.

I kept the wood design simple, since I was going to learn how to do something new.

cutting the fabric for the cushions

All the parts I will need for the chair

Ok, since the upholstery is the part I am least sure about, I will do that first.

fabric, wood, and some batting to make it look a little stuffed

Then I will start to fold and glue

Trying to keep from using too much glue

I still get more overlap than I intended... maybe I should have measured more carefully>

Just a little too much corner, something I will have to learn to fix in the future

Ok, now I need some wood.

Ready to work with the wood.

The dish has olive oil in it. I will use the q-tips to apply it as a sealer.

Oil adds some nice color

Ok, ready to glue now.

pan attached to back and legs.

Now for the front legs

Ready for cushions

Ok finishing touches
