I really wanted to try out the burning so i just experimented with the top corner of the back brace which turned out really well, the charcoal effect creates a really interesting matt effect and there was also a small proportion of the wood smouldered away so changed the line of the back brace.

I wanted to then add to the chair a little so i found some old fence panelling and ruffly nailed it tot the back of the chair as i felt that the chair as a whole was feeling very exterior and structural but i'm undecided if this defiantly works and if it is worth perusing.
