We bought a chair from the refuse recycling shop which looks like:
So still having some leftovers from the kitchen table (it’s possible that I overestimated that project just a tad) I thought I’d build an almost-replica. The main difference being all the wicker stuff which, although it suits the chair well enough, is way beyond my skills.

I made the seat using paper-string. If you want to see how this is done have a look at this video
It’s finished in shellac.
I have a few improvements in mind for next time which would tidy up the seat and few other areas.
Anyway, here is my version:
