Queen Anne Back Stool,
c. 1740, Philadelphia

Dimensions: 41 ¼” high, 22” deep, 21 ¼” wide
Primary wood: Walnut. Secondary wood: Poplar
Upholsterer: Ralph Dermota (York, PA)

I made this chair after measuring a chair Gene Landon made. According to Gene, he copied the original in the 1960s. I probably spent as much time developing templates as it took to build the chair.

Other than shaping the legs, fitting the cross-stretchers proved to be the most time-consuming.

Everyone who has sat in the chair comments on how comfortable it is!

 

This last picture shows my completed chair next to Gene’s.
