Verner, you genius. You had it all– the restraint, the exuberant colors, chic materials. Who else could have made wool and chrome plated steel look so modern, up-to-the-minute in any age? These chairs are fabulous.

Ranch Ramblins – Loveseat Plans

In my last post (Adirondack Loveseat Project) I promised to upload plans for the loveseat you see in the photograph above. So here they are.

The plans presented here are an amalgam of ideas garnered from several sources, including woodworking books, Internet websites, and of course, my own experimentation. I have completed several of these loveseats to date, so I can attest to the fact that these plans indeed work as advertised.

Here are some quick comments and suggestions before presenting the plans.

windsor chairs : Love seat and specials1

I enjoy making all kinds of special designs. For instance each year I make something eye catching as an exhibition piece. Here is a selection of recent examples. If you have seen a really wild chair that you like, I would be very interested in giving you a quotation to make one. I am happy to make copies of old chairs (not other workers’ current production please!) or to work from photographs, patterns or even book illustrations.
A love Seat.

I’ve seen various examples of Love seats, and always thought they were missing just a little something in the bit in the middle. These chairs are individual but inseparable, arms and legs entwined. The seats are crotch pattern Sycamore, and intriguingly interlocked. All other components are Oak. This kind of Seat will grace any library or gallery.

Normally available to special order only. This one now sold. About £1300, but subject to individual quotation.
