This is a swing back chair made especially for Matt's sister Loretta. The hyeroglyphics say "Loretta loves cats". Matt has drawn and painted them on a gold background.
Although you can't see it in this photo, there is an Egyptian style cat statue on the side of both front legs. The base front legs have been carved to resemble the cat's feet.
The seat features inlays of various types of woods including blue gum, pine, hardwood and Australian cedar.
This is the second chair he has made and it is very comfortable to sit on too.
Matt this chair is absolutely stunning. Your workanship shines through. What a treasure to be able to hand down for generations to come.
