Sit you down, father; rest you. - King Lear / I Am The Walrus.
I think these chairs, part of a suite to be seen in the Dining section of this site, have a Danish flavor. The back splats are solid cherry, sawn into thin laminates and reassembled over a curved gluing form. This technique yields a thin strong component without the odd grain patterns cutting a curve out of the solid can produce.
These chairs incorporate layers of flexible Italian plywood laid up over a mold in a vacuum press
