If you are looking for value, these chairs will provide several centuries of comfortable service. In the spirit of 18th century chairmakers, David forms spindles and bows of handsplit oak or ash for resilient strength. Hand-turned legs enter the seat with tapered joints. (The chair will tighten with use!) The seat of pine or elm is deeply saddled with adze and inshave. At assembly time, deliberate tension is added to further strengthen the chair.

You may wish to choose a traditional milk paint finish, a hand-rubbed stain, or polished shellac.
