Chair and Table Evolution
Chair and Table Evolution
We have been building tables and chairs for over twenty years. In that time we have made quite a few design changes. Our first chairs had straight backs and were much more massive than our newest design.
Over the years, I have noticed that a frequent complaint about log dining chairs, is that they are too heavy. Our chairs have evolved from the chunky log look and weight to a more refined, lightweight item of furniture.
Our early table tops were made from vertical grain fir that we obtained from a local mill. We had some problems with the vertical grain and we switched to a top made from little fir thinnings, sawn in half. That top has become our favorite top.
We are sending this newsletter to show you our most recent chair design, the Rustic Elegance. We also want to show you a 6' trestle table with a manzanita brace in the middle crafted from one branch that just happened to grow with the perfect curve for the job.
Write us if you are interested in this set, or one with different dimensions.
In our showroom we also have some chairs of older designs and other items of furniture that we want to sell at close out prices.
