Look at those arms!

This was a chair I fell in love with right away.  The arms are magnificent.  Sculpted from one piece of mahogany wood, each turned with two rounds on one end and a precision crafted end that fits smoothly into the frame of the back of the rocker.  It came from Pulaski, VA.  The seat I wove using narrow medium cane.

Recent Students from Chestnut Creek School f the Arts in Galax, VA

I taught another 1/2" flat reed, herringbone pattern seat weaving class a few weeks ago and wanted to share my proud student's completed chairs. They were a great group to work with and everyone had a fun time. I may have another class coming up in November. Call the Chestnut Creek School of the Arts at 276-236-3500 for confirmation and registration. I think there may be a few spaces left. From top to bottom, Ray Epperly, Judith Seay, Mickey Cunningham, Donna Rosenbaum, and Tina Cunningham.

Give a kid a paint brush and get out of the way.

The family that paints a chair together, stays....... well, you know the rest.

You can place a silent bid for this chair at the City Gallery on Main St. in Galax, VA. It will be given away in December.

This chair brought the highest bid at the public auction.

This chair brought a good price also.

There was a good bidding war for this chair.

Sorry you lost Sharon. Hannah would have loved it.

Need I say more?

I love this idea!! (Woven with belts and buckled underneath.)

Again, give a kid a brush and.............
