Mahogany Balloon Backs
Crafting these carver chairs to match a set of antique balloon backs was certainly a challange. The difficulty lies in making sure that all angles, turnings and carvings are as close to the original as possible, so that when polished and upholstered, you can't distinguish between the old and new. Antique dealers often face this problem of incomplete sets, with one solution being to have copies made.
