My latest chair build is post and rung style based on plans by Tim Manney in Fine Woodworking using both hand and power tools. The frame is ash and the back splats are red oak all split from the log. The ash parts are turned and then have a fine spokeshaved finish. The back posts and back splats are stream bent. The ash is painted with milk paint and the entire chair has a linseed oil and beeswax finish. The seat is woven with Danish cord in a new pattern I have not tried before.
I have made several of these chairs using different woods, finishes and seat weave patterns. The chair is lightweight and comfortable for sitting. Thanks for looking.

Love it! Keeping the back splats natural with the QSWO really imparts a lot of character to the chair. Excellent work.

That is not only a beautiful made seat, it is even wide enough between the front pins.

Great! Really like the seat weave.
