Marble Race Chair

I first saw this chair at Jeff Miller's studio here in Chicago at his yearly Lie Nielsen tool show. Luckily it was featured in his book Children's Furniture Projects.

Chair was made from walnut I had sitting around and some scrap liberated from my friends' woodworking school. It is finished in Tru-oil since I had a big bottle of it from my bass guitar project. As usual it look longer than I thought. This one will probably end up in Colorado for my grand nephew. I am hoping to make another one for the church fundraiser in the fall. Of course I will wait until the week of the fundraiser to build it.
