This comb-back stick chair is designed for dining and working at a desk. Leaned back just enough, this chair is comfortable to sit in for hours at a time.
I’m offering it for sale for $1,400 via a random drawing. The price includes crating and shipping to your door anywhere in the lower 48 states of the U.S. Details on the sale are at the bottom of this entry. First, here’s more about the chair.
This chair is made from soft maple (seat and arm bow) and red oak (legs, stretchers, sticks and comb.) The legs and stretchers begin octagonal in shape then round into the taper. The through-tenons on the stretchers are cut flush with the legs – as with the stick tenons on the arm; Giving this chair a sleek look.
All joints are assembled with animal glue and wedged with red oak wedges.
This chair sits 17” above the ground, a comfortable height for most sitters. However, the chair can be lowered if desired. The overall height of this chair is 39-1/4”.
Due to the difference in color of wood species, I decided to paint this chair. The chair is finished with two coats of “Linen” by General Finishes “Milk Paint.” The off-white color has a matte finish that I believe will age beautifully.
This chair was my fifth chair build overall and my first chair of 2025. Made mostly by hand tools, the occasional tool mark or imperfection may be noticeable. I made this chair to the best of my ability and am proud of the outcome.

Very, very nice! The color works! You should be very proud, as those around you, will certainly be!
Good job!! Beautiful chair!!
Very nice !
Well done!
Gorgeous.
I especially love the crest rail. The shape feels familiar, even classic. I don’t think I’ve seen that in a LAP stick chair that I can remember and I think it looks particularly well proportioned. Love it. If you’ll entertain a question, why oak for the crest rail instead of maple like the seat and armbow?
