Chippendale Chair

By FWW_Gallery, member Jun 02, 2014

Woodworker: Reid Eric Anderson
Anderson made this Chippendale chair (22 in. deep by 20 in. wide by 32 in. tall) from a single piece of curly maple and completed it while attending North Bennet Street School in Boston. He did most of the shaping, including the curved back splat, with a spokeshave and handplane. After applying a mixture of oil and mineral spirits, he left the chair in the sun to enhance the figure before giving it a hand-applied varnish finish.
