The Promise Chair

Group of Six Dining Chairs

Materials: Sapele Mahogany, Douglas Fir, Figured Red Oak

Price: Please Inquire

From a group of six chairs Promised to someone special many years ago. This chair design has been hanging on my shop wall and in the back of my mind for a long time.  Other chairs have been built and sold, other ideas put ahead of it. Several redesigns considered and finally, like a good wine, this one matured and its time has come.  Sapele  Mahogany, Vertical grain Douglas Fir and figured Red Oak are the materials,  a nice warm contrast in my opinion.  The coopered seats are taken from a single, massive, quarter sawn Douglas fir plank, a wood that has intrigued me for some time,  although seldom used in furniture.  The quarter sawing creates a beautiful straight grained pattern. When we work from the heart we do our best work.
