Howdy everyone!
I recently decided to make something out of bolivian rosewood. I was originally going to make a desk but I needed an easy chair in the living room so I built one of those. The chair is kinda designed after a maple chair Maloof made back in the day. I of course added my own touches to the thing but it is still very much Maloofian in structure. I found out a very important thing about bolivian rosewood. even with all the dust extractors and whatnot in my shop I'm still super allergic to it. So I guess I can scratch getting hives off my bucket list.
Now I name all my chairs instead of numbering them (I'm all sentimental and whatnot like that) and this one I named after my wife's grandfather. The dude was a true craftsman. He built homes in the KC area and was the first contractor in KC to use a nail gun. Once he was giving us a tour of all the houses that he built and I must say I can't hold a candle to his quality of work. The man had a gift.
