Hobbit Chair (With Stretchers) For Sale

View this email in your browser For Sale: Hobbit Chair in Mahogany With Stretchers This chair is a close cousin to the chair offered here a couple weeks ago. Same great wood and same finish. The only difference is this chair has a stout H-stretcher, making it suitable for all sitters. I am selling this chair for $2,600, and that price includes the crating and shipping to anywhere in the continental U.S. The chair is being sold via a random drawing – details below. This chair is made of mahogany that is at least 70 years old. I bought it from Midwest Woodworking in Norwood when it was going out of business. The wood is gorgeous stuff, and strong. The chair is set up for dining. The seat tilts about 3°, with the back tilts another 12°. The seat is 16" off the floor, which makes it comfortable for a wide range of sitters. The seat is a single wide plank of mahogany (that I had to amazingly rip down to make the seat). All the housed joints are assembled with hide glue and elm wedges so that the chair can be repaired long in the future. The finish is super blonde shellac with a thin coat of black wax, which tones down the red and accentuates the wood's pores. Purchasing the Chair We're selling this chair via a random drawing.
