Ash wood has a big difference between the spring and summer growth producing grainy patterns. On this Armchair the light grey stain finish helps to show the attractive patterns. Ash is a very hard wearing unfussy material.
It’s the Weird and Wonderful Wood Fair this weekend 19th & 20th May weird and wonderful wood fair . I will be there with 4 chair designs including the new stacking chair,
Customers at the Station Café in Campsea Ashe can use this chair for a few days, thank you. The coffee is excellent and they even have a chess set and snacks.
I have been thinking about this chair design for 25 years so it is good to finally make one that I am happy with. The only problem is that it is designed as a stacking chair, and only one exists so far. In theory it is a stacking chair. It is made from Ash, and has a slightly springy seat. The legs are hollow so it is lighter than it looks.
I have had a cushion made specially for this Ash Armchair with grey finish. It’s at Craftco in Southwold, the Great Eastern Craft Cooperative started 30 years ago.
