The shape of the front leg follows the grain in the Ash tree. When the leading shoot of the young tree is eaten by a deer a side shoot takes over and creates this pattern. If you split the tree in half 25 years later and season it for a year you get a right leg and a left leg. There are 9 grown bends in this design, and 25 steam bent parts.
Ash Bends
UncategorizedThese are some grown Ash bends split along the grain and tidied up on the saw. They will take about 6 months to dry. To be made into a new chair design.
