The Irish Stick Back Chair

After making several of this type of chair I am beginning to understand the challenge the Bodgers of Old faced when working with their limited access to power tools.  This one was a commissioned work .

The wood used is mainly Oak but with a Holly back rest. Joints are glued and wedged without screws or nails. 

 Biscuit joints are hidden within the actual seat to add to the overall robustness.
