The accompanying working drawing presents a bedroom chair of similar construction to the dining chair with the leather seat, previously described.

The back panel, however, is made to match the foregoing bedside stand.

In the second chair still another form of panel is used, and instead of a permanent seat covering, a loose, flat cushion is provided, the covering of which • should be the same as or harmonize with the bedroom hangings. The construction should commence with the two rear legs, which, on account of their bend, will have to be sawed from two pieces about three inches in width. When planed smoothly down to line, mark out the guide-lines for the top, feet, and mortises, after which shape up the upper ends and feet. The front legs will now be made ready and similarly mortised, noting, of course, that the front crosspiece is placed higher than the rear one.

The two cross-pieces of each side are next in order, and should be tenoned to fit the mortises just made, after which a groove will be cut in each to receive the ends of the side-panel boards. These will then be sawed out, taking due care to bring out the lines sharp and clear. The two complete sides may now be set up with glue and securely clamped. The four rear and two front crosspieces are now to be accurately marked out and tenoned to match the sides, after which the thin back-rest will be prepared as carefully as were the side panels. It now only remains to make two slots in the two upper crosspieces to receive the ends of this piece, and the whole chair may be assembled. Set up with glue, secure each joint with a small peg or wire nail, and clamp until set. Small square strips should be attached to the inner surfaces of the four seat cross~ pieces, after which the seat-board must be accurately fitted in and secured thereto with glue and screws.
