I built one prototype bar stool and two kitchen side chairs in times past, using poplar wood, and I had to do something with them.  So, I decided to practice spraying colored lacquer (a new technique for me).  Wow!  They sure are blue.  When I selected the colored lacquer, I thought it would be darker.  Oh well.  Blue is the new gray.  The side chairs were sprayed and assembled in multiple steps so that there would be no blue lacquer over-spray on the clear lacquer details.

Thanks for looking.   Danl

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow when you stay on the ground you do real good!! And probably not as painful!!!!

Nice! I like the way you carried the seat material into the back. 

Beautiful

Good idea to keep the seats natural color for they get the most scratches and won't show as bad!

I LIKE the blue. The chairs are excellent!

Ha ha, thanks Smallpatch.  It has been 5 years since I tried flying without a net.  I keep grounded with 5 screws.  I’m doing Ok. 

I forgot to mention that the natural wood is hard maple, cut long grain.  I like the contrast with the blue color.  

thanks everyone for your kind words.  Danl

I remember your posts on the barstools and I think the color is great . I see possibilities of a mix of colors on it also as a highlight.

Super work all around Danl

Those are top notch, Danl.  Thanks for showing the final product.
