It's going to sit out by the pool with some cushions but I really don't expect much actual sitting. It's more of an accent piece. If someone commissions another one, I'll definitely put a curve into the seat supports. I sat on it and it didn't seem too bad. One mea culpa, tho. After it was all glued up, I was looking at it from one side and notice one horizontal arm was angled lower on side than the other! ??? ??? I missed the lecture that day on measure twice, cut once! ;D I had to go buy a japanese pull saw with a very thin kerf, cut through the domino where the arm was attached to the back upright and the front upright to remove the arm. Once it was removed I was able to measure and make sure it was right and matched the other side. Re-dominoed (is that a word?) the joints and it's now perfect. Whew! Like a surgeon, it didn't happen if you find your mistake before you close up the patient! [laughing]
