WALNUT & OAK SALISBURY CHAIR

This chair is inspired by the design of  traditional Shaker chairs as well as the graceful and simple lines of Chinese chairs from the Ming dynasty.  I have tried to meld the two vernacular styles which are known for their combination of rustic utilitarianism and simple elegance.  The chair’s spindles and posts are hand turned and assembled with mortise and tenon joinery.  The crest and mid rails are bent laminations.
