Stick Chair

Ash, Milk Paint - 450x500x750

A celebration of the unique forms that naturally occur when employing green woodworking techniques.

Splitting chair parts out of a green log and shaping them with a drawknife, is a method commonly used in making traditional Welsh stick chairs, and Irish creepie chairs.

Because this method forces the maker to follow the grain, the resulting shapes and forms are wonderfully characterful, and give each chair a unique soulfulness. The design and method of construction of this piece aim to capture that character and soul, while still feeling refined.

This chair has been finished in a traditional milk paint. The finish highlights the facets and sharp edges which are created by the drawknife. The paint is also slightly translucent and still allows the texture of the grain to show through.
