I used nine pieces of steel to make this chair. Its quit heavy. It was the first large blueing job that I attempted - and it turned out ok - not great, but ok. I think though that it could be made out of wood - solid and/or ply. If it was made of wood: the finish could be a lot nicer, seat and back cushions would be easy to attatch, and it would be a lot lighter. The center balance of the chair is good. I think that if it was wood, it would still need a thick and heavy steel (stainless perhaps) base.
