Stick chairs are vernacular peasant pieces built with simple lines, local woods and strong joints. These striking but comfortable chairs are found in cottages and rural dwellings all over the world. Like the antique originals, my chairs are made mostly with basic hand tools and domestic woods. And thanks to the form’s simple lines, stick chairs fit in with almost any design aesthetic, from traditional to post-modern.
These chairs can be designed to be used upright for dining or at a desk – or to be more relaxed as a lounge chair. By carefully selecting the angle of the back, plus how high the arm is off the seat, and the placement of back sticks, I can make a chair that will both embrace and support you.
Aside from the chair’s mechanics, stick chairs can be customized in myriad ways, from the type of wood and finish, to the shaping of the seat, armbow, hands, and comb. All of these elements can be shaped to create a chair that is unique and in harmony with its surroundings.
Crafted from solid wood, with traditional hand tools and mortise and tenon joinery. All the chair’s joints are assembled with animal glue, which is reversible, and wedged.
Items are made by hand and therefore minor differences may occur. This is part of the beauty of handmade work; no two pieces will be exactly the same.
When I have a chair available, I post them for sale here. Or they can be made to order.

Available to order in white oak, red oak, red elm, and cherry. Or inquire about a wood of your choice.
Seat dimensions: 20” (w) x 16” (d) x 16 3/4” (h)
Overall footprint: 26” (w) x 27” (d) x 36” (h)
While built to these dimensions, minor variations can occur due to the handmade nature. The seat height can be adjusted upon request when ordering.
Finished with non-toxic Soft Wax, a blend of beeswax and raw linseed oil, made by Lost Art Press. Or finished with your choice of linseed oil paint.
Free delivery within a 50 mile radius of Seattle. Shipping this chair typically costs $300-$500, depending on where you live. Significant savings can be made when ordering a group of chairs or adding on a stool. Shipping two chairs or adding on a stool costs the same to ship as one chair does.
