All legs, arm post, and spindle holes are drilled completely through the seat and arms. Glue is placed in the hole; the legs, posts, and spindles are then secured in the holes. These parts are then split with a chisel and a wooden wedge coated with glue is driven down into the split. This widens the parts within the bored holes creating a super tight fit.

This 18th century assembly method prevents the chair from coming loose over the years.

All chairs are made with the highest quality kiln dried hardwoods. The chair legs are turned from hard rock maple. Chair seats are carved from either cherry or poplar (poplar being more historically accurate). The chair back spindles are made from hickory, while the turnings under the arms are of maple. Chair arms are steam bent from either hickory or ash.
