Abstract

This article from Fine Woodworking explores the construction of Irish stick chairs, which were traditionally made by part-time woodworkers in Wales, Scotland, and Scandinavian countries. The chairs were crafted using basic woodworking tools and whatever wood was available, often referred to as "sticks." The article offers guidance on selecting wood, shaping legs and creating tenons, constructing the seat, assembling the arms, and putting the chair together. The author highlights the chairs' simplicity and durability, as they have endured for centuries and continue to be highly valued by collectors. The document provides detailed instructions, tips, diagrams, and photographs to assist in the construction process. [Extracted from the article]
