One of the most frightful projects for many woodworkers is making chairs and stools. The reason many woodworkers won't tackle stools and chairs is because there are so many different angles at play, and if just one of them is off a degree or two the whole project can become a nightmare, except for one determined and skilled craftsman, Dan Gehon of Specialty Barstools.
Dan has been making a variety of different stools commercially for over 10 years. The stools he makes are are in many different styles including classic barstools with round seats, with and without swivels, Tai or shinto type stools, with and without back, plus a variety of custom designed stools to blend in with current trends and designs that he creates from scratch.
The woods Dan uses are variable, depending on what the customers want, from Red Oak, Maple, Alder and Cherry. Like many furniture manufactures, he also finishes his own creations, often with lacquer. |
