Bow Arm Morris Chair Woodworking Plan

These chairs are a direct reflection of the work done by William Morris in England in the early 1900's. They are also influenced by the work of Gustav Stickley here in America. Both of the chairs feature quadralinear leg post construction. These posts have four quartersawn oak boards mitered and then glued. This construction technique best displays the oak's ray flake which seems to wrap around the leg. Our well-detailed instructions explain three different methods of leg construction. The footstool is included in the plan as an added bonus! Size is 40" high by 36" wide and 42" deep. Skill Level: Beginner
