Remember chair of the week? I was playing around with the concrete chair and trying to find a new home for it and this chair just seemed to fit.  Maybe I’ll investigate this further…

It’s free! But I should have removed my oily gloves first… Whoops.  It’s not perfect by any stretch, but it’s a chair shell and it’s concrete.

Putting the final lick on the concrete. I left out the screw posts to attach the base since this copy will most likely end up in “research folder”, aka, trash can.
