    Hey Stu that carver came up superbly. Well done.

    I too have a cedar dining table, but no carver's, yet !! Mind you I do have 6 cedar rail back chairs, all in good nick. I bought 4 off Dr. John Buttworth (Australian Cedar.com) from Sydney, and found 2 more in Melbourne of a very similar style. Just need to make some seat bases for them, sometime. Pic of table and chairs at home, oh and the cedar double ender etc that my missus restored.

    Great resto WiP

    Disapointed no weaving of the seat cover photos but looks like you went with leather and foam not horse hair.

    Thanks for your kind words.
    I'm pretty sure my FIL has a book by Buttsworth, and I read somewhere that he had sold off a lot of his collection. I think my FIL has a very early chiffonier that I believe he purchased from Buttsworth and is pictured in the book (I'll have to check this though).
    It's very hard to find a set of Cedar railbacks. All you can really hope to do is get similar styles.
    Nice table by the way. My Cedar table has had a hard life, but I like it's character.

    We thought long and hard about the upholstery. The chair gets used ever day so we decided to go with comfort .
    SWMBO has an order from the inlaws for 2000 x 900 of haircloth which is sort of a priority as they need to finish some chairs for a function at their homestead. We would have had to wait some time to finish our carver. This was also a consideration.

    It's beautiful soft Italian leather and should wear very well.
