Here are two chairs made from Oak and Walnut. These chairs are a hybrid from chairs produced by George Nakashima and Sam Maloof. George Nakashima (and family) are famous for his two legged cantilevered chair, and the leg joinery and seat construction is based on Sam Maloof 's process. These chairs are great for a carpeted room since the feet act like ski's so the chair can slide up to the table very easily. Also since there are no front legs there very easy to get in and out of in a crowded space. I made a prototype of this style late last year so these are #2 & 3. These were completed in September.
