This is a chair that I made with Curtis Buchanan while we were working on a publication for this design. We thought it would be good to build the piece we would be working on together so that I knew the ins and outs of the piece. It was great fun.
It was made all from green wood starting with the long, riving, drawknife, etc…
If you haven’t seen his Youtube videos of this chair being made. It is awesome. Here is a link to a sped up version of him making the chair. There are also about 50+ videos of him making every part. If you ever wanted to see a real traditional chair maker at work, check it out.

Fabulous chair. I really love the long slender spindles on the back and all the wonderful turnings and details.

I confidently throw Peter Galbert in there as well though he is of course newer on the scene.
