2 chairs & a box for sale
UPDATE - both the chairs & the box sold. If you’d like to order a box or a chair, go ahead and email me. I’m working on more of both as we speak…
Thanks, PF
The dust has settled and first thing I’m going to work on is sorting out the shop, then the loft. I have two ladderback chairs for sale. I made both of them this year, one in the spring, one in September.
One carved box too - details below.
email me if you’re interested in any of these items. Paypal or check - either work fine with me. Peterfollansbee7@gmail.com
Ladderback chair #1. - SOLD
$1,400 includes shipping in US
overall height: 33 1/2″ overall width (across front posts): 17 1/4″ seat height: 17 1/2″ seat depth: 12″
Here’s the first one - ash posts, red oak slats, hickory rungs. This seat is hickory bark that I split in half & wove with the inside half. A herringbone pattern.
And the standard front view - the mixture of woods always settles down in time. When I have it, I always use hickory for the rungs - some of these are heartwood, some sapwood. The riven quartered oak is pretty showy for the slats and I almost always have that on hand. The posts just depend on which wood I have around, if I have ash, I’ll use it. And I did, so I did.
Ladderback chair #2 - SOLD
and the second chair - same as above. the biggest difference is the bark on this one is the outer half of the split. All that means is it has the streaky pattern in it. I once sold a chair with the plainer bark and the customer was disappointed that it had no streaks!.
Ash posts, red oak slats, hickory rungs, hickory bark seat

overall height: 33 1/2″ overall width (across front posts): 17 1/4″ seat height: 17 1/2″ seat depth: 12″
It’s still perfect bark - the difference is minutiae to an extreme. A seat for ages and ages.
And one box - THE BOX IS SOLD. I’VE TAKEN ORDERS FOR 2 MORE - IF YOU’D LIKE ONE, SEND AN EMAIL & I’LL KEEP YOU POSTED.

There’s a bit of a story to this one. Started a long time ago, the lid and the front board. All prepped, carved - then left to sit. Recently I dug it out and got down some of last of that wood and carved two end boards. I make the back board from oak because the cedar wouldn’t be strong enough to form the pintle hinge. Then dropped it while I was working on it and the oak hinge snapped! Shows you what I know. I patched a new one in there - but this box is a bit of a “second” for those two reasons - sitting around a long time, has a scuff here & there. Nothing major - the worst of it is the scratch on the lid just left of bottom center in this view - and that repaired hinge. But it’s a fine box, I’d use it in my house and never think about any of it. Price reflects these stumblings.
a lidded till inside, made of a mish-mash of woods. Red oak till lid.
Beautiful work! Is the lid for the till hinged?
carved lid very cool--
