Project 9: Lethenty Mill Dining Chair/Carver
Our DIY colour manual provides comprehensive instructions on
how to make a solid wooden Dining Chair/Carver using traditional woodworking skills.
The DIY furniture-making
manual for the Lethenty Mill Dining Chair or Carver is a comprehensive colour guide with
step-by-step instructions, detailing how to make this traditional piece of
quality wooden furniture.
This manual also
includes a fascinating discussion regarding the history of the Chammer chair,
along with photographic examples. As author, Allan Fyfe writes: “Chammer chairs
were probably just ‘chairs’ in the early nineteenth century but were relegated
to the “chammer” or farm bothy when new mass produced chairs in hardwood became
available and popular in the mid nineteenth century. However, they were still
made by final year joinery apprentices as a project to test their skills along
with a kist and perhaps a sliding sash window—also in pine.”
