This chair was inspired by a pair made by Furnituremaker Phil Lowe,to fill out a set of side chairs for one of his clients.Made of Mahogony, satinwood and ebony, It has a horsehair slipseat that I upholstered myself and was a great project to hone my carving and joinery skills. This was my second try at chairmaking  as a fulltime student at the North Bennet St. School.  It is currently on exibit at the Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton Ma.
