The challenges of chair design are many. Not only the esthetics but also comfort and durability are equal factors in the design process.
Chairs are one of my favorite things to build because of their sculptural qualities but also their inherent design/construction considerations.
We build chairs, benches and stools in a variety of woods (and rocks).
