The three pictures above are of  the same chair.The undercarriage is of mixed hardwood fastened with deck screws , the arms , seat & back are willow fastened with ringshank nails . (click on picture for larger view)

            These chairs are of a more traditional design , I make more of these chairs than any other design . The undercarriage is of mixed hardwood fastened with deck screws , the arms , seat & back are willow fastened with ringshank nails .The small table ( in the photo on the left ) is made of twigs split in half and fastened to a  piece of 5/8 in. plywood   The center twig in each square is red dogwood.
                   Above is a picture of a three piece set I made for a lady who wanted to display it on the covered porch of her old farm house. The loveseat ( for want of a better name) is large enought to seat three adults. In the center is a loveseat constructed the same as my chairs , that is, a mixed hardwood undercarriage fastened with deck screws ,willow arms , seat , back fastened with ringshank nails . On the left is a conerstand .                    Pictured above is group shot of some of my work . Note the 3/4 size chair that I made for my daughter . Leaning on the fireplace is a mosaic table top . The picture in the center shows a closer view .On the right is a picture of the tools I use to build a chair .                       The plant stand on the left is made with an old traditional design . While living in Seymour IN , my next door neighbor brought me a stand like this and ask if I could make him a new one .  I still have the old stand ( 60 years old ) that I use as a pattern .  Next to it is a plant stand of my own design . The picture of me on the left was taken at a campground I stayed in while atending the Rustic Furniture Show at the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mt.Lake N.Y.  ( 1998 ). The other picture was taken Oct. 1999 at a friends house in Gailsburg Ill.       email Tom Elmore at    tom@elmores.net
