This seven-stick comb-back chair is constructed from a 2,000-year-old oak tree that was once preserved in a Polish lavatory and lately harvested. The wooden, which is exceptional and tough to {photograph}, varies from charcoal black to an exquisite olive to a heat chestnut brown.
This chair is considered one of my more recent designs; it makes use of a four-piece arm (for balance) and a skinny shoe, which streamlines the glance by means of getting rid of visible bulk from the arm. It additionally is among the maximum at ease chairs I make.
This chair is ready up for common use. The again leans 12° off the seat, and the seat is tilted 3°, so the again leans 15° off the ground. The seat is 16-3/4″ above the ground, which is a great top for many sitters. Total, the chair is 38-1/2″ tall and there may be 19″ between the hands.
Like several my chairs, the joints are assembled with cover glue and oak wedges, so the joints are sturdy however may also be simply repaired by means of long run generations. The lavatory oak is completed with a home-cooked linseed oil/wax end that has no toxic solvents. The end gives low coverage, however it’s simple to reapply as wanted (with out a particular abilities or gear) by means of the landlord.

One ultimate observe: I purchased about part of this lavatory oak boule with a pal (hello, Andy!). I estimate I’ve sufficient wooden for roughly 5 – 6 extra lavatory oak stick chairs. So there might be extra at some point. Alternatively, I will not say precisely when.
