New Maloof Chair
|
I did a post a few months back on a copy of Sam Maloof's prototype rocker that he made before he passed.? After I finished that chair, a flood of idea's and changes came over me, so I started on a 2nd chair and added those changes I wanted.? The changes are still 100% Maloof just added to the prototype design.? Even though the chair is done, I'm waiting for the seat upholstery shop to finish the leather seat which is the same as the first rocker.? I figured I would show the chair without the seat? for now.. who knows how long the upholstery shop is going to take to finish it ? First picture is of the first prototype chair, and 2nd set of pictures is of the newly designed chair.. |

Hi Randy,
Really nice work! Can you post the two of them together from the same angle? Besides the difference of the accent woods, the main change I see is in the arms. I personally find them to be a little flat looking in comparison on the?new version. Could just be the camera angle. Are the back splats sawn from solid, not bent lamination? I have never built a Maloof style anything. The hand shaping seems so daunting! I should do it someday. Thanks for sharing! Jason Jason Holtz J.

Thank you kindly.. Jason..I did quite a few things differently on the 2nd chair.? the first chair with the thinner arms, leans back more.? I purposely moved the upper legs forward more so the chair was more upright.? I extended both the back leg and upper leg by another inch.?? I made the seat just a tad wider I used ebony for all the accents (that stuff is EXPENSIVE!!) As for the arms, I actually curved them more than usual.. it's just really hard to see in the pictures with all the noise in the background There are hardlines everywhere the same as a Maloof chair. I'll add more pictures tonight when I get back with the chairs in the same angle.. Thanks..

Here's a picture of the arms and you can see how it "curves and is not flat..
