Made in English ash with burl walnut veneer this design was my take on a photo which appeared in Fine Woodworking Readers Gallery courtesy of Mr Daniel H Phillips of Dallas Texas. (Thank you Mr P) Mr Phillips in turn adapted a drawing fromThomas Sheraton's "The Cabinet Maker and Upholsterers's Drawing Book". My chair is 17 in deep by 20 ins wide by 34 ins tall. The back rails are steam bent and the arms are formed from bent laminations. After sealing it was finished using a 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and beewax
