Nicholas - we use one as a desk chair in our kitchen, where it doubles as an extra seat at the table when need be. Works fine for those applications. I use one in the shop from time to time when doing something like spoon carving - no arms is helpful there.

That’s quite lovely! Do you have a link or reference to Drew’s original article? Thanks Peter!

Should have put that there to begin with - sorry. Here's the citation, don't know if it's available other than to subscribers to their archive: [Drew Langsner, “Two-Board Chairs: Plans and methods from a Swiss woodworker” in Fine Woodworking, July/Aug 1981] It's also collected in an anthology they did on chairs that might be called Fine Woodworking On Chairs...

Beautiful chair! Very different from the normal fare which is part of its charm. Wish I could see it in person but am looking forward to the video.

Beautiful chair, the carving really makes it special. Have a few questions on the build so will look forward to the video.

I wonder if the wood parts have enough flex and give to keep self-destruction from being a problem?
