Childrens High Chair

Suggested by my wife as something that might prove popular, this is the first design of a child's high chair, it is still work in progress as some of the proportions need improving upon, but we like the blue stain and the green washing line seat, we chose this as we wanted something washable...
The twists in the back legs came partly from steam bending but also from the natural twist in the wood.

New chair design

This chair was developed to offer more lower back support, it also looks good too (we think) the seat pattern has changed too, it is one used mainly for Rush seats, but I cannot harvest anymore Rushes until the summer, so I have made do with "Paper Rush" which looks and feels very similar to the real thing.

Chair repairs

I have just completed a repair job on some chairs for a friend, they had all suffered from glue fatigue, the backs were all loose and falling apart and one had been attacked by their Dog, so needed major surgery (chair not dog!) I replaced the Struts with Ash and then stained them to try and match.
