Hello All:
Here is my latest project, a replica of 1901 Stickley 2340 Bow Arm Morris Chair. Its made entirely of hard maple that was salvaged from the building I work in during a remodel.
Arms and back slats are steam bent (wood was soaked in Downy fabric softener for 2 weeks before steaming). Finish is medium luster polymerized tung oil from Sutherland Wells. Cushions are from a Bassett chair I bought off of craigslist just to get the cushions.
All construction is dowel-pinned loose tenon, including the through tenons on the arms.
I've never seen any Stickley done in maple and I'm pretty happy with it.
Cheers,
Jim
