I aimed to make it very light and now think I rather overdid it!
It still gives me pleasure to have made the tools needed to make the chair. What I pity I couldn't also have grown the tree, converted and seasoned it!

This 19th Century chair made by Tom Sutton of Stokenchurch, Buckinghamshire, England, has a stained beech back with a rush seat. It's design is based on an 18th Century model. | ||

| Here's my expression of this design. It is an ash
chair,made some 44 years ago that we call 'the preggy chair '. At the time I
happened to be fascinated by making the wooden rounding and trapping planes
that made the legs and spindles.The ash was worked in the dry condition and the
seat is of woven cord. I aimed to make it very light and now think I rather overdid it! It still gives me pleasure to have made the tools needed to make the chair. What I pity I couldn't also have grown the tree, converted and seasoned it! |
