Have been meaning to re-cover our dining room chairs...Kristy and I thought we'd take the opportunity to add a subtle Star Wars touch.

I photoshopped up a tiled/repeating image of 'Star Wars: The Old Republic' Empire and Republic logos, and, using an online custom fabric printing service (Spoonflower.com - we've used it before for costume projects), got upholstery-weight fabric printed and sent over.

Heh, nice!
Now all you have to do is get a round whitewood table (dunno what, just not pine unless it is hardened) and have a giant imperial cog of rimu or such as an inlay
.. or something like that :?

:D
