Cavett chair side sections via shapeoko 5

Saw this in a furniture store and liked the look and it was quite comfortable. Used a photo, scaled to actual size then did the design in CorelDraw. The back and seat portion were done with the more traditional table saw and dominos for the joints. If you look at the parts being cut, there are mortises for the dominos in them as well - much easier to position them this way.

I was using a couple of boards I had laying around the shop for the side pieces. One was a bit too short so I did a kind of mouse ears joint and it seemed to work out quite well.

Current status is stained and working on the leather upholstery

Here are the parts; one will need to be duplicated/mirrored. You’ll probably want to double check the speeds and feeds.

Alan, TY for the file! Do you mind sharing the joint too? I tried some similar ones, but could not get them half as precise.

This post and the build that was underway had a ton of overlap. Perhaps some of you will enjoy our latest video.
Nice work on your chair, @Cutterhead
