Morris Chair: Lumber required 8 ft. 2 in. x 2 in., 14 ft. 1 in. x 6 in., 14 ft. 1 in. x 2 in., 5 ft. 1-2 in. x 10 in.

First get out the posts.

Cut the mortises, as indicated, for the seat frame.

Put the sides together, fastening the arm on top of the posts by a screw down through the arm into the top of each post. This screw, of course, is to be covered by a plug, or if you desire mortise the top of the post through the arm making a square tenon mitred to a point on top of the arm.

Next put in the front and back rail. Screw a strip (a) side view on the inside of the side rails and slats (b-b-b) resting on these strips to hold the seat cushion.

The back is made separately and hinged on to the top of the back rail of the frame. It rests against a bar which fits into notches in the arms, as shown at (c), the bar itself being shown at (d).

Note that the arms project about 1 in. inside of the posts and therefore are rounded out to the post at the back, where the back of the chair comes up between them.

We would suggest your having the cushions made at an upholsterer's, as it is difficult to make good cushions yourself. In imitation leather these will cost about $10.00 and in genuine Spanish leather about $20.00.
