However they are 4" shorter and the seat rails are higher because they have a solid, carved seat. The back on the FDR chair at the top is behind the rear legs at the floor but this isn't true of the CDR chairs. The general shape is very similar though.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394365117138074832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976499952885642848.post-47717760296343464702016-02-23T20:43:13.859-08:002016-02-23T20:43:13.859-08:00To make these two pieces requires 12 board feet, h...To make these two pieces requires 12 board feet, half of the requirement for the whole chair.

He already had those in production so his design and construction problems would have been easier than your problem of needing to start from scratch. He might have been able to use jigs or even pre made parts like side stretchers from those chairs to ease his very tight deadline. Looks like the FDR chair is wider than the armless version which is normal practice but fairly easy to accomodate.
