Every exhibition usually comes with its own catalog. And I usually buy these. So, in this catalog, there was a wonderful screen that I had already managed to make and sell, and there was also a wonderful armchair with tapestry upholstery. I searched the internet, found a few more not-so-great photos, and decided to tackle a set of two armchairs.<\/p>\n<p>For those who missed it and haven&#8217;t read previous posts, let me remind you that this is already the third pair of armchairs. The first two ended up in the trash: the first for its carving and design, the second for its clumsy gilding.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2sojPN9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55386604224_f3545d6591_c.jpg\" alt=\"Chippendale Arm Chairs\" width=\"602\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With the current armchairs, everything seems to be fine. I really like the gilding now, the upholstery didn&#8217;t cause trouble, and the casters were relatively easy to make, although I did manage to break several 0.5mm drill bits. But these are just part of the process, and I really need to get to the lathe more often and make something else.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2soiRck\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55386413821_22072430b2_c.jpg\" alt=\"Chippendale Arm Chairs\" width=\"602\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And, perhaps, in the next post, I will talk about some nuances of embroidery at this scale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Armchair set, finally ready!
