This chair (30 in. deep by 60 in. wide by 26 in. tall) is based on Frank Lloyd Wright’s barrel chair from the Darwin Martin House in Buffalo, N.Y. After building replicas of the original chair with his father, Anderson experimented with the design and eventually created this playful version in white oak. The chair has 100 mortise-and-tenon joints. The curved hoops are bent laminations, each using seven pieces of oak. The finish is shellac.

The bevel lock was frustrating too. The tilt lever was at the back of the saw, meaning the tool can’t sit tight to the wall. There are no bevel detents. It’s the only saw without a flip stop, meaning you have to reset it between cuts. Still, the saw has a compact design, and it’s the most affordable of the bunch. The side extension arms have slick levelers, too.
definitely outside the box. Great piece. A conversation starter, for sure. Some well placed lighting would really show off the lines. I like the way you think
With its graceful curves, cabriole legs, and ornamental back splat, a Queen Anne side chair is a bucket list build for many woodworkers. Dan Faia had a very specific Queen…
