I'm calling it a clinker chair; well because it's made like a clinker planked boat and is a chair. Perhaps Venetian Whorl might be a little more imaginative. Anyway it is made from approximately a hundred pieces of quarter sawn ash and oak which were then steam bent into shape. Needless to say this was a lot of work and the chair took the best part of a month just to fabricate the outer shell. The finish is hand rubbed oil and bees wax.<br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_0oTSNb9iuYI/SCgFd8D6KpI/AAAAAAAAADM/M4q9azkUh0k/s1600-h/Clinkerchair1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_0oTSNb9iuYI/SCgFd8D6KpI/AAAAAAAAADM/M4q9azkUh0k/s400/Clinkerchair1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199411781696105106" /></a>Tiernan Roehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18155560895046121434tiernanroe@yahoo.co.uk
