These chairs were in desperate need of love, they were found painted yellow (very bad paint job to boot)and were laughed at by the other chairs. They were striped sanded and nursed back to the Mid Mod sexy they so deserve. At the height of their life they feel the need to find their family. A long extensive search has been in the process, with many cousins that look alike, but no direct family found.
Help fulfill the long life ahead for them by finding their maker
Thanks from Sexy Mod chairs

Side pics
I was just in the finishing stages when these pics were taken. They are definitely teak, spent hours on them.
The one unfortunate thing, the paint got in the grain and I couldn't get it out without wreaking the wood, so that's why they are stained the darker colour.
cheers

Scraping teak with a razor blade held almost perpendicular to the surface pulls stuff right out of the pores in the grain.

And what is going on with the side rail looking like it passes through the front leg?

Yes it does pass though to the front leg.
The craftmanship is amazing.....
All the chairs I have seen similer have inlay hiding the screws that attach to back.
