TXGaloot. I am humbled that you think I am a Dunbar grad. That is on my wish list to take a class from him. On the contrary I took a 3 day class at Woodcraft with the Colonial Chair company this past March. That is where I learned the construction techniques but the turning and bending was already done. I learned enough there that when I paired it with some research on steam bending and my exisiting lathe skills I was able to build this chair. Dunbar spends a lot more time on the stock prep and traditional techniques with a lot of humor and history thrown in. I am hoping I can make one of his 2009 classes.

Excellent chair. I really like your turnings, especially how the cove is so deep and well defined. Did you turn the long spindles too? Very nice and traditional hand hold. Thanks for sharing this.

Shannon, that chair is a beauty! I enjoyed reading how you finished the chair unifying three wood species and why those woods were chosen

This is a beauty Shannon. The detail on those turned arm support spindles is a joy to behold.

Great looking chair Shannon! These chairs are so much fun to build because they really challenge your attention to detail. You can really appreciate a well built chair’s symmetry and the craftsman’s ability to pull it all off using only hand tools. Keep up the good work.
