Present work

 

We are very fortunate to be able to offer chairs made by Jasper Murphy.

Jasper mostly makes his post and rail chairs of green kanuka and manuka. . .using age old craft methods to cut, shape and join the hand made parts together. . .there is no petrol, electricity or glue used in the construction!. . .the result. . .a fine, honest aesthetic, beautiful and extremely durable. . .suitable for many of our kitchen styles.

This is a Manuka spindle-back side chair.

Jasper turnes the spindles on a foot powered pole lathe.

Here is a lovely oak corner chair.

We are also glad to be able to present hand crafted chairs by Seth Bergstrom, master chair maker.

Here is a set of Seth's English Lath-back side chairs made in the traditional windsor style.

.. . .and here a beautiful splat back detail .on a clasic Double-bow Windsor.

. . . a full setting of English Braced Bow-back side chairs with a Sack-back Carver at each end.

James Stewart, 'The Village Chairmaker' is also willing to bring his particular blend of style and skill into the equation. . .

He tends to make Windsors that have that light, fine, early American style and shaping. . .
This is a Bow-back sidechair with 'bamboo' pattern turnings. . .it also features traditional milk paint finish, avilable in a range of authentic colours.

James also has no electical power to his workshop. . .he uses simple technology and hand tools to make chairs like this 'Sack- back' Windsor

Here's the complete 'Sack-back' Windsor with milk paint and natural oiled details.
