procedure

Ash. A straight grained open pored hardwood that is stronger than oak. The strength and straight grained characteristics of ash allows the diameter at the top of spindle to be smaller without fear of it breaking. Spindles that are smaller in diameter at the top are more flexible. Spindles that are more flexible are more comfortable. |

| The study of the human body dimensions, muscles, and bones. As a derriere-ologist, I have been studying derrieres all my life. After years of study, we made the patterns for the scoop in our chairs. They are deep in the back providing room for the ischele tuberisity bones that we sit on. You will not slide out of this chair. |
| Varnish.
Better than lacquer, shellac, or linseed oil as a top coat. It does not allow water to penetrate into the wood and cause a white spot. We use two coats to be surer that we have the surface entirely covered. |
|
Antiquing.
The combination of steps in the furniture finishing process that have
as their sole objective to make the furniture look older than it really
is. How much older is determined by the amount of antiquing applied.
We offer antiquing in light, medium and heavy quantities. First, try as we might to make perfect furniture with no blemishes, we can't. So, rather than promise you something that we can't do, we offer you the best that we can do. Second, scratches and dings will happen to your furniture as you use it. if we put the first few on, as others occur, there is less anxiety which is good for you and your visitors. Third, we think it looks more appropriate. It's like a person over forty-five having crows feet around their eyes.

One piece pine seats. Cut from a tree large enough that the seat does not have to be glued up. This is the traditional way of doing it. |
| "Custom" Any color stain or paint will be matched or a new color created for you. In either case, there is no extra charge. |
| Thin
Spindles. Round vertical pieces in the back of the chair that the sitter leans against. Our spindles are 5/16 inch diameter at the top. They flex more than the 3/8 inch diameter that most chairmakers make. Spindles that are more flexible at the top are more comfortable. |
