Chippendale-style Chair
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Gerald Lauchle
Lauchle, a professor of acoustics, built this Peruvian mahogany Chippendale chair to accompany a Georgian slant-top desk he built earlier. The design was based on plans in Ron Clarkson’s Making Classic Chairs: A Craftsman’s Chippendale Reference (Fox Chapel Publishing Co., 1997), and traditional hand-carving techniques were used in the chair’s construction. The upholstery is velvet, and the finish is an oil stain and sprayed acrylic lacquer.
