Library Step Chair

[Waka]

My wife has asked me to make a step chair, I have searched extensively but can't seem to find any decent plans, any ideas would be most welcome.

There was a lovely one in British woodworking earlier last year which is on my round tuit list

I always like those, its a very elegant and useful design.

I bought a very nice full sized set of plans from Furniture Designs inc (#714) to use up some of my Iroko, but I haven't got around to making it yet although I have started machining the wood for it.

My problem is I need a piece 1 & 5/8" x 6" x 15.5" and the thickest I can machine the Iroko down to is 1 & 1/8".

I have thought of Laminating two boards together and then thicknessing down to the final thickness but there has to be a curve cut into the piece which ends up as a 3/4" thick curved rail and I do not know how well the lamination would look or hold up in this instance.

Thanks for the links guys, very helpful, now to decide which one to do, I'm sure Mrs Waka will help on that one.
