Comfortable for not only myself...

All the legs coming together
Two center curves cross-lapped, then angles cut at the center end of each half-curve to evenly space the legs out.  Bottom disc shown for support and even spacing.
Legs are sandwiched between top and bottom discs and screwed in together from the bottom.

Weaving trial #1
After applying several layers of polyurethane finish 
Quickest and easiest way to weave throughout all 12 legs over and over: place the center on a stool to lift the legs off the ground
Weaving trial #2 with softer rope to provide more comfort
The rope was too thin and therefore required twice the amount to weave throughout the chair. A new type of weaving had to be considered.
