CNC Basecamp E015: Contemporary Slab Chair

Chairs occupy their own special place in the woodworking world. Our interaction with a chair is much more direct than with a bookcase. We sit in the chair for extended amounts of time, so it must be comfortable. We need to be confident in its construction and feel secure, so it must be strong, and it must look appealing, and ideally, make us look appealing in it. With all of those demands, chairs can sometimes be difficult to design and tricky to build with small intricate joints, an array of different parts, and oh my, those compound angles! Slab chairs, however, are simple, fun, and inviting. The styles and designs are almost limitless, and the construction is direct - make a seat, attach the legs, add the back, take a seat, and relax. Another slab chair bonus is that the parts are nearly always under 2 feet so they can be made on most desktop CNC routers.
