Project Information

I made four of these chairs for Christmas presents. I had never made doll furniture before and really enjoyed doing them. Each chair had 19 pieces and was surprised that they took longer than I expected. They are made of solid oak and painted. The joints used are dowel, mortise and tenon.

Great looking chairs. I really like the detail work. I made some doll chairs this year also, but chose to make solid side chairs to save time. I'm always happy to have all of my fingers when I've finished a doll project.

Great project that will be treasured. As always, you do such a very fine job of the detail work. They turned out beautifully, but I know it sorta pained you to paint over that oak grain. Well done-great to see your post.

Very nice chairs. I've been making doll furniture for my daughter (and some of her friends) and have determined that even though it is small it still takes the same skills and sometimes is even harder than the big stuff.

We are having our first girl in March. I can anticipate making "doll" items in the future. Nicely done chairs. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Tom,

Beautiful project, but be careful, you could easily find all your wood working time taken up making those chairs. Doll furniture is popular and can bring a high price.
That stenciling detail is really nice!

Great little chairs, Tom!

Like the flower embellishment. It really adds to the overall project.

Great work Tom, I doubt I would have the patience for that kind of work.

The Grand kids will love them, good on you.
