Winged Chair
Winged rocking chair called "Ark". Walnut, cherry, oak, spanish cedar, cabriuva, cocobolo, paper & metal fasteners.
I recently completed this experimental, winged rocking chair. The body of the chair is fabricated from dozens of small triangular pieces of wood (about 1 1/2″ long on each side). After cutting each triangle, I used a jig to glue and dry them in lengths. Then, I used biscuits to create wider and longer surfaces for the body of the chair. The “wings” are made of water color paper, and fastened with snaps to a moveable cherry armature. The rockers are steam bent cherry. The wood surfaces are lacquered.

View from top and back. The wing structure slides into the mortises in the forked piece of cabriuva.
