The Chair

Although we haven't been doing any big projects on the house over the summer, Bryce did have a big project of his own. My sister-in-law's father-in-law died several years ago. Before he died he was building her a rocking chair so that she could rock her babies to sleep. But he got too sick and was never able to finish it. This is the father-in-law that Bryce inherited his wood shop from. With the wood shop came the parts and the instructions to this chair. So for my sister-in-law's 30th birthday, Bryce finished the chair:

Look at that beautiful wood on the arms!

Bryce had never done a project like this before and he did an amazing job. I'm so impressed that I am pretty sure he can do anything, which has made him a very long list of projects :) Bryce's parents had the seat upholstered at a place here in town where we found the beautiful leafy fabric. Bryce spent all of his spare time (which granted is not a whole lot when you have an 18 month old, a pregnant wife, and the PE exam coming up), for the last three months to finish this chair. It is so beautiful, and he was really proud of himself and I think he still can't believe he was able to do it. He has a natural talent for wood working that he never knew he possessed until he inherited the wood shop from this man.

Now onto my kitchen desk, closet organizer, scrapbook/sewing area, and built-in dresser. You have time for all that right honey? :)
