Chairmaking Part 1
Make a Welsh Stick chair with hand tools. There is no steam bending or lathe turning involved. The Welsh Stick chair is based on the work and directions of Christopher Swartz’s book. There is plenty of handtool work involved and attending to the grain direction. Multiple woods are used as the chairs are usually painted with milk paint.

Times: 5 sessions 10am - 3:30 pm with a lunch break ( 24 hours of class time)
Materials: wood included . Various woods are used as the chair is painted when finished.
