Spinning Chair

Nice looking chair. What characteristics makes it a spinning chair?

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

Very nice, I make some knitting stuff for my sister right now, might be making more of it.

Good looking chair, I like it. Did you make the spinner thing too?

That is a neat design. I like that high narrow back.

-- Maplewood, MN

Really nice!

To answer Gary’s question: I think the idea is that the narrow back gives you something to lean back on, but at the same time allows you a greater range of motion to twist your body while working. With a standard back you’d be hitting your arms and elbows on it.

Thanx guys!

Gary: Typically a spinning chair will have the tall, straight narrow back, usually with a heart in it, and a flat seat. Not overly comfortable but decorative and functional.

Bill: My wife had the spinning wheel before we met. She’s been bugging me to make a fancy one, which I’ll get around to one of these days.
