Ladder Back Chair
$ 1,600.00
A versatile chair perfect for the dining table, desk, or occasional seating. Light weight and easy to move.
I work with a local sawmill to source the wood for these pieces. These chairs are built using a traditional post and rung style of construction. The joinery takes advantage of working with fresh "green" wood and controlling the drying process. A shrinking wet mortise combines with an expanding super dry tenon to create a mechanical lock that has been shown to hold up to centuries of use in some examples. The back posts and slats are steam bent. All the long grain surfaces are finished with a spokeshave after being turned on a lathe. This sharp hand tool leaves a lightly faceted and glassy smooth surface that is a joy to touch. I hand weave the seats using authentic danish paper cord imported from Denmark.
Black, ebonized, finish is available for an additional cost.
