This chair is an example of creating furniture based on a fragment supplied by a client. In this case, the client's father had collected a carved chair back from a yard sale many years ago. He had stripped one half of the back and then put the pieces away for several years. My client inherited the pieces and wanted a chair that incorporated them. The chair back suggested a Renaissance hall chair, a style that is rarely seen anymore. This chair, made entirely of oak, is the result. It required careful color matching to blend the new oak and the stripped oak with old patinated oak.
