se
ttee
with
a
woven
tap
e sea
t to
a
Windsor
stool
in
sassafra s
and
walnut, from a cherry wood
rock
er

white ash
porch
swing,

ere
is a
variety
of
gor geou s chairs
to
please
the
eye
and

of all-you
can
make them
yourself!
The Art
of
Chair-Making
will
help
you
single-handedly
revive an art
per-
fected by craftspeople of
th
e
past.
These projects
give
you
quality
pieces
designed
to provide
a
lifetime
of
enjoy-
m
e
nt
,
and
prese nt
a wide range of
chairs
from different
historical
periods.
Try
Windsor-style pieces,
su ch
a
s
a
three-legged
stool
with a
sculpted seat ,
fashioned out of cherry and ash, or
one
with a painted
se
at mad
e
from
white
oak.
Or
create one of
several contem-
porary post-and-rung
chairs,
including
a bubble-slat
settee,
a bubble-slat rock-
er,
and a
double
rocker.
The
Shakers
had
an
un
equalled
r
ep-
utation for
furniture-making
,
with
love-
ly
but
simple
de
signs,
like the
cherry
stool
with
multicolored tape,
four
front
posts, and
six
front and
side
rungs.
The
ingenious
structure
of
the two-slat
side
chair
allows
it to fit n
ea
tly
and
co
m-
pletely
underneath the
dinner
table to
facilitate

based on ones
built in the
Enfield
com-

the mid-ninet

seems complex
but
actually is quite
sim-

make. You

classic
Shaker-inspired
