Thanks for the lead. A quick google search of Kodawood yielded a chair with very similar attributes to mine ( http://itsallinmyhead.tumblr.com/post/359897781/arm-chair-1960s-arm-chai...)
I understand that Kodawood of Miami manufactured a number of modern Danish designs for designers such as Juhl. Do you have any info on the Kodawood company?

I'm no definitive authority,...
I'm no definitive authority, but I never heard or read of Koda explicitly doing anything for Danish designers. I have read of claims or attributions. My impression is that they utilized pre-existing designs into their products, somewhat similar to Plycraft. I'm sure someone knows something factual.
