Of course, one chair is only good for one person, and there are at least two of us in The Ugly Green house.  So I had to make at least one other chair.  And of course, in the process of making another chair, had to modify the design somewhat ( removing the through tenons across the back).  The second chair turned out even better than the first.  For the 3rd and 4th chairs, I modified the curve in the seat, moving the center of curvature back several inches.  This made the chairs very, very comfortable.  We often have guests over that sit in these chairs for hours and remark about how comfortable they are.  The 7 degree tilt of the back seems to about perfect when couple with the curved seat.

Originally, the plan was to put cushions on these, but they don't seem to need them. I did have fun cutting all of the mortises without the use of my mortising attachment.   I meant to get one of those fancy Mortising Machines, but just never got around to it.  All 54 mortises were cut by hand, which gives me a lot of satisfaction and pleasure.
