I had been wanting to build a stick chair for some time now and finally got around to it. The seat and comb (headrest) are Cherry and the legs, sticks and armbow are in Ash.<\/p>\n

The inspiration is from the Staked Armchair chapter of Chris Schwarz\u2019s the Anarchist\u2019s Design Book<\/a>. The build techniques used are similar to those described in my Staked Stool<\/a> post.<\/p>\n

While the stool had stretchers and a flat seat, this chair has no stretchers and a lightly \u201csaddled\u201d seat. I had a good time with my adze, scorp and curved scraper while carving the saddle and am fairly pleased with the result.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>Above is the finished chair with 2 coats of a wiping varnish applied. It\u2019s difficult to see in the picture, but on the inside of each arm (the red arrows), I carved out a gentle slope so that it would be more comfortable for someone reading a book.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>It looks like a very relaxed backrest angle however, this chair\u2019s geometry is also good for sitting at a dining table or desk.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>The saddling is light; not more than 3\/8\u201d (9.5mm) deep.<\/p>\n
