From the first cut to the last coat of oil, week by week, on a single dining chair.
Weeks one to three
We choose the boards and cut the parts oversize, then leave them to settle in the workshop. Wood moves when it is cut, and we would rather it moved here than in your home.
Weeks four to seven
Joints are cut, fitted and glued by hand. The legs are shaped with a spokeshave until they feel right, which is a different thing from measuring right.
Weeks eight to ten
Three coats of oil, with a day of rest between each. Then we bring it to you.
