Assembled this Jennie Alexander chair today. Oak posts with Ash slats and rungs🪵🪑—————————————-

Traded this fresh set of JA chair dinguses and bending form for a nice chunk of red oak. Excited to see what comes from both. 🪵 🪑 ———————————-

Rocker is assembled and ready for cleanup and paint 🎨. Built this chair using Curtis’s Fan Back design and it’s extremely comfortable. Very happy with how it turned out 🤓. ————————

Start of a Fan Back Rocker but in the style of Democratic chair. Excited to see how it turns out 😎 ———————————-

Start of a Fan Back Rocker but in the style of a Democratic chair. From what I’ve heard this is a very comfortable chair. My lathe isn’t up and running just yet so thought I would try this out. Enjoying it so far 🤓————————————

In between projects I’ve slowly been working on a post and rung chair design inspired by a JA chair, Drew Langsner’s designs and a Boggs side chair. Slowly building jigs and comparing dimensions to make a story stick for the next one. Thanks to for making the plans for a Boggs side chair available. —————————
