The fanback armchair is the most roomy and well suited for either reading by the fireplace or sitting at the dining table. Scrolled hands and handcarved crest are standard. The tailpiece and bracing spindles add a striking design element.

Available in many milk paint and custom colors. Shown with baluster or "vase" legs and stretchers in Barn red (L) and Windsor Green (R)

Welsh Stick Chair/ Leopold Legacy Chair
This is a special design based on the Welsh stick chair but more refined and with a strong "H" stretcher system as an undercarriage. The chair shown is one of 20 made from sustainably harvested trees from the Leopold family property, and created by me for the Aldo Leopold Legacy Center near Baraboo Wisconsin. The wood is native cherry and red maple.
I can make the same design from the same combination of woods from other sources as well as other combinations of woods for a trucly custom piece.
Price if made from cherry and maple: $750.00
