This is a really laid back chair, about as comfortable as a wood chair can be. I had a lot of fun making it. I found the plans in a recent issue of Fine Wood Working. The seat, arms and crest rail are elm, the sticks are ash.
The woods used are elm and ash. The seat, arms, and crest rail are elm; the sticks are ash. As to why the pictures are sideways, I dunno. Initially they were flipped upside down, so I went into my editing software and flipped them upside down, thinking that when I posted them they would flip right side up. Instead they flipped sideways. Being an old fart I have limited patience with fighting computers.
