Alexander Bros. in Timberville, Virginia, is now selling chair kits for stick chairs (and Brian Boggs chairs) in a fair number of species and at very good prices.
You can take a look here.
Shea Alexander has been picking chair wood for me for the last eight months or so, and I have been impressed with what he sends. The stock for the legs, sticks and stretchers is dead straight. And the rest of the pieces (which don’t have to be straight) are nicely dried and clear.
With these kits, you get just what you need to build a basic comb-back stick chair. The kits currently on their website is for the Six-stick Comb-back in “The Stick Chair Book.” But that same kit can be used to build almost any comb-back chair, including the four-stick comb-back from “The Anarchist’s Design Book.” Both books are a free pdf download.
You can get the kits in red oak, cherry, American elm or walnut. And the prices for the kits range from $235 to $410. That is an incredible bargain.
I receive no kickback, compensation or money from these kits. All the money goes to supporting a great family business. So if a lack of wood has been holding you back from building a stick chair, click here.
Excellent opportunity to learn the process of constructing the stick chair.,Thanks
