Default Grandsons mini chair from scraps from toybox

I made this 1/2 size chair to match toybox, I regret that I did not take more time and taper the front to back but ... I was but:
It all started with the curved back that in the process of steaming I somekinofway... scorched the countertop in the kitchen to later find that I didnt allow for the tenons.....
Killed some more "test" pieces cutting beveled tenons untill the scrap supply was almost gone completly...
anyway forging ahead I just decided to make it square.
I visited Williamsburg Va. last week and now really regret not sticking with the original plan after seeing how easy the fellow at the cabinet shop showed me how he does it .......

Groovy,
Looks like you did a real nice job on the chair. If it really bugs you, make a second one with the changes. One is never enough.

Groovy I think you are the only one who will ever know. It looks pretty darn good as it is. Like Firehawk said, you can always make another.

If you hadn't told us it was a half size chair I'm not sure I would have realized, I would have just thought your house had the biggest fireplace in the western hemisphere.
