Project 15:
Chammer/Kitchen
Carver
A direct copy from the local vernacular; learn how to make it by
hand or with basic machine tools. You will need the manual for project 9, as only
the drawings and cutting list are supplied with this project.
This is one of our all time favourites! At Lethenty Mill Furniture, chair making
is very special and these chairs are quite demanding to make. The drawings,
which are closely linked with the cutting list, should make it that bit easier
for you.
This chair is copied from a woodwormed side chair that came from a tumbledown
farmhouse in Glenbuchat, Aberdeenshire.
The arms are from a carver, same provenance. We copied the original years ago
just before it collapsed of woodworm fatigue. Someone (we don’t remember who!)
said that the feature in the curved front of the arms – the thumbhole – is local
and traditional.
