We select specific woods for the different chair components based on their unique characteristics. Ash or oak will be used in the backbow for their flexibility in steam bending, while hard maple or cherry is used to hold sharp details in leg turnings.

Our spindles are riven from the log (split along the grain not cut across grain) meaning that they maintain their full strength and flexibility. This process has been replaced in most large scale manufacturing and the resulting product is more prone to breaking with time and use.

Our chairs have a deep, hand carved seat to be wonderfully comfortable for hours of sitting and many years of use and the seat is tilted front to back to encourage a more relaxed seating position.
