The very solid foot structure lifts the column two inches above the floor to further lighten the look. The round apron has a strong bead detail that sits proud of the surface allowing it to catch the light and eye. The larger bead details on the post echo this detail. The subtle curve of the post blends gracefully to the top to the feet. The top is varnished hard maple with a hand planed soft edge detail. The base pedestal column is turned by hand from a cylinder of cherry and the feet and apron are made of cherry. Don't hesitate to ask if you have ideas based on this look or other ideas that you may have.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">The table is 5' across.

Mattress lengths and widths are standardized and are available in sizes such as king, queen, full, twin. The thicknesses, on the other hand, vary greatly. <p></p><p>When I take an order, I get the mattress size, King or Queen usually. If it is King Size, I always confirm if it is a regular King or a California King and there are also a bunch of other King sizes. The standard King is 76" by 80".</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgjd39M3QID4n2mbNbC4eQeDdvjKMB9nvoc8JYxrAIoeCE_sA5fLivyfMjeaeb8oq4BWL7Amon4Y5QU1ntz8AOtcYNLTdb-878rcmAFxO2OD1XFxYlWudUNSoWfGHUeLr49NatqSTYz9fsD4g3olU7lfrfk6fbsFC0xPpPMg5Gfdc123yIcW9BlgHP0Cg=s640" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="614" data-original-width="640" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgjd39M3QID4n2mbNbC4eQeDdvjKMB9nvoc8JYxrAIoeCE_sA5fLivyfMjeaeb8oq4BWL7Amon4Y5QU1ntz8AOtcYNLTdb-878rcmAFxO2OD1XFxYlWudUNSoWfGHUeLr49NatqSTYz9fsD4g3olU7lfrfk6fbsFC0xPpPMg5Gfdc123yIcW9BlgHP0Cg=s320" width="320" /></a></div>Once I have that, I need the thickness of the mattress and I need to know if there will be a box spring. Some mattresses are designed to be used with a special box spring, so I would add that to the mattress thickness. Most mattresses today are substantial enough to work alone and only use a "box Spring" to raise the mattress up from a very low metal bed frame. These "box springs" are actually just boxes and do not have any spring function. In general, on my beds, the mattress sits directly on wooden slats that are closely spaced to give the mattress plenty of support.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgetGFQzXrMy-5TyxV_MOInRz_fxHb8JazWTdAT2h6On2oe3eEooCi6f4JM8IrbIrLbXyjjjksgFm7wIGIi_cZVf8JgGclxFEZccgde-WX4ZKViVqqb05_WmeYOmUy1-je6VHv2KI8R6No2JROWteU-KsL-E1-SBadSXtIgcGAEDk5fXkfDxDrFjzyOWQ=s1333" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgetGFQzXrMy-5TyxV_MOInRz_fxHb8JazWTdAT2h6On2oe3eEooCi6f4JM8IrbIrLbXyjjjksgFm7wIGIi_cZVf8JgGclxFEZccgde-WX4ZKViVqqb05_WmeYOmUy1-je6VHv2KI8R6No2JROWteU-KsL-E1-SBadSXtIgcGAEDk5fXkfDxDrFjzyOWQ=s320" width="240" /></a></div><p></p><p>Now that I have the mattress thickness, I then figure on a finished height for the mattress.

Made of sculpted parts of warm wood combined with cool clean steel, it would be inviting to the touch and keep the sitter interested in where they are sitting. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Windsor chairs and benches are defined by a solid seat that has legs and back mortised into it. In this piece, I have exchanged the wedged tenon wooden joinery with stainless steel bolts and fittings while the back and leg support structure is swapped for CAD designed parts.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Every new design remains a mystery until it is completed and I am very happy with how this came out. The back has a nice give to it as do the backs of my usual Windsor chairs that have my trademark "Floating Back". This steel supported back is quite flexible in contrast to what may be expected. The wood is warm and inviting to touch. I think that this is the beginning of many new related pieces. </span></div><div><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIJPtNh1DZgwWlVnYp7ViXbgpk7msDh3_4RpXz8LrtOpMbqGSeyDx8Qq5lQi-oj3AxuxVPiUZgQRCOp0l1MBd5P0f3lV0yzD0GSbFyhDPqeGpgY_4NDan0ErVWgWkuMTmdwwxVIfGJFdPE/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="466" data-original-width="665" height="140" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIJPtNh1DZgwWlVnYp7ViXbgpk7msDh3_4RpXz8LrtOpMbqGSeyDx8Qq5lQi-oj3AxuxVPiUZgQRCOp0l1MBd5P0f3lV0yzD0GSbFyhDPqeGpgY_4NDan0ErVWgWkuMTmdwwxVIfGJFdPE/w200-h140/Hybrid+Bench+v8.jpg" width="200" /></a> </span></span></div><div><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222;"><br /></span></span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIJPtNh1DZgwWlVnYp7ViXbgpk7msDh3_4RpXz8LrtOpMbqGSeyDx8Qq5lQi-oj3AxuxVPiUZgQRCOp0l1MBd5P0f3lV0yzD0GSbFyhDPqeGpgY_4NDan0ErVWgWkuMTmdwwxVIfGJFdPE/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhldqFFoSvDktSOCA3h0b84NwFBKWrH0K2ElaOnVkSF8rs5Gps4t3aCbv4W0RfSkkK2ZXrHQBWRvuDvq0K0Nd5q_ov-wTKOMaIa-S09vZcYtW0ViPFtWEIev36OBGDUSo23SFfcd_lhG8Lm/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="403" data-original-width="613" height="131" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhldqFFoSvDktSOCA3h0b84NwFBKWrH0K2ElaOnVkSF8rs5Gps4t3aCbv4W0RfSkkK2ZXrHQBWRvuDvq0K0Nd5q_ov-wTKOMaIa-S09vZcYtW0ViPFtWEIev36OBGDUSo23SFfcd_lhG8Lm/w200-h131/leg+support+v4.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><span style="color: #222222;">Over the last few years I have taught myself Computer Aided Design or CAD. For this project, I worked up the design for the piece using the CAD software, but more importantly, I was able to create the files that ran the machine which cut out the stainless steel components. I emailed the files to a machine shop in the next town over and the files were used to drive a waterjet cutter to make my parts. Each part is exactly like the next and exactly what I had designed.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">The wooden part of the design centers around a seat that is cut from the same pattern as my more traditional Windsor benches and has turned legs that also come from my </span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">previous work. The sculpted crest rail is new but is actually bent over the same jig as my other Windsor benches.<a href="https://www.timothyclark.com/settee.html" target="_blank"> See my other benches here.</a></span></div><div><br /></div><div>While the steel is cut out by a computer guided machine, the wooden parts are shaped and sculpted by hand and the steel parts are all ground and polished to create touchable edges. All of the stainless steel bolt fastenings are chosen to create a finished looking surface top and bottom. The hex heads that are visible on the top of the bench are set flush to the surface. In my mind, these are similar to the look of a traditional, wooden, through wedged tenon joint. As in Shaker tradition, joints are not hidden but are celebrated whether they be metal or wood.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face="sans-serif" style="background-color: white;

Myself and the shippers are sensitive to your concerns about social distancing etc and are open to your thoughts on following protocols that will help you to feel safe about accepting a delivery. </span></div>

This is my latest Waltham Bench with arms. The first benches of this design had my thin crest rail. This one has my traditional rail design that I used on my first Waltham chairs and benches. I think this one looks very nice and the curves of the rail accentuate the shape of the seat and the curves of the arm rail. The look is more formal than the thin rail. <br />

Also, the arm rail which floats behind the spindles has a 'knee' brace to support the center of the rail. I add this to all of my arm rails on benches over 4' long.<br />

Try to get out to enjoy Spring a bit. It has been a bit chilly here in Vermont lately but hopefully it will be warming up a bit.<br />

Take care of yourselves and your family.<br />

I am not sure when I will be able to offer this class again but it was great fun to be teaching again especially with this very nice group of people.<br />
<br />
This class took place at the HatchSpace in Brattleboro, Vermont. They have a very professional setup staffed by quality people. <a href="https://www.hatchspace.org/" target="_blank">See more about the HatchSpace.</a><br />
<br />
In this two day class, students each make a "Shaker Bench" while learning how to cut dovetail joints by hand.<br />
<br />
I do hope to also teach out of my shop but will definitely teach again at the HatchSpace when opportunity allows. Take a look at my<a href="https://www.timothyclark.com/classes.html" target="_blank"> Classes page on my website</a> to see information about this class and also about my Build Your Own Cod Rib 12 Double Paddle Canoe.<br />

The proportions of this bench were designed to fit in an entry hallway. The drawers were for kids gloves and mittens and it is a good spot for taking off shoes and boots. It is strong statement of style as one enters the home. This bench is made of walnut and ash. The walnut on this bench is stained so that it will remain dark. Walnut will lighten over time if it is not stained. Cherry would also be a good choice in place of the walnut.<br />

As all of my work is made to order, this bench could be made deeper and taller for more of dinner bench. Also, it could be made in almost any length. The original of this design was 14' long and was built in two sections, joined in the middle.<br />

These are all finished in milk paint and have some traditional detailing. They are designed to have a traditional look but with a comfortable fit of a modern chair. They have a deeper seat and my trademark "Floating Back" design that gives with the sitter.<br />
<br />
The New Waltham chairs are the same chairs but with a more modern look. They have a natural finish and most are made of cherry and ash.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My New Waltham Side Chairs are designed to be a chair with ample room and comfort. The seat is round and inviting and it easy to move around in. You can sit straight or turn easily to accommodate changes in position or for entry and exit from the table.</div>

Below is a shot of the New Waltham Side Chair with a New Waltham Arm Chair. Notice that the arm chairs arm rail passes behind the back spindles. This is my trademark "Floating Back Design" that allows the back to flex with the sitter. It is much more comfortable than a traditional Windsor that does not allow for this movement.</div>

I have found a nice niche in the furniture making world with my contemporary Windsor benches or settees. While both lines that I build are rooted in tradition, my New Waltham line features natural finishes that show off the warm wood of the pieces and has a more modern look. These work well for someone who loves wood everywhere or just wants a warm accent to contrast furniture or surroundings that are not rich in natural wood. My Waltham line features, pieces with milk paint finishes and hand carved details that give a more traditional look while not screaming "fife and drum". These pieces also have a warmth that is a nice contrast to an ultra modern decor while blending with a more rustic or period surrounding. More of my benches and settees can be found at my website. <a href="http://www.timothyclark.com/settee.html" target="_blank">TimothyClark.com </a><br />

As the paint is rubbed out there is sometimes a small bit of rub through. My favorite look is to rub through a bit more at high contact edges. This adds highlights that define the lines of the piece. You can ask for more or less of this.</span><span style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">The bench below is a 3' version of my Waltham bench with the traditional crest rail.

This last year, I added a bench with an arm rail to my Waltham line. This design is based on my Waltham Arm chair. If a bench is to be used at a table, I suggest a bench without an arm rail but this design works well in a hall or a spot where the sitter does not need to slide in from the side. </div>

Up until now, my Waltham line of benches did not have arms but I made four of these at the request of a client. I am very happy with how it worked out. I made this in a 4 1/2' and a 5' version. This bench is $3800. and the Waltham Bench (the one without the arm rail) is $3000.<br />
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions and do take a look at the rest of my work at <a href="http://timothyclark.com/">TimothyClark.com</a><br />
This bench is built of poplar for the seat, cherry for the rails and ash for the spindles, legs and stretchers. It is finished with black milk paint, linseed oil, varnish and wax.<br />

My Pencil Post Beds are one of those. I seem to consistently make at least 2 and maybe 4 of these each year. The bed is a lot of cherry. 2 1/2' square posts at the base with a transition to an eight sided taper. This transition is made by way of a carved "lamb's tongue". The facets of the eight sided taper are scribed with a spar makers scribe and then power planed to rough out stock to get close to the scribe lines. The final sizing is done with a hand plane. <br />

At present, I offer three options for finishing off the posts. They can be left bare, they can have cross bars (known as testers), or they can have finials. I turn the finials by hand. The finials incorporate a 1/4" diameter steel post that sticks out of the bottom. This is simply dropped into the hole at the top of the post. No wooden peg to break off. <br />
<br />
The rails are joined to the posts with an exposed bolt that makes a very solid joint that will not wear out. If the bed were to "loosen up" over the winter due to wood movement, they can simply be tightened. I discovered this design on an original Shaker meeting house trestle table that was made to break down for storage. I loved the practical honesty of the bolt. There was no attempt to hide it behind a brass decorative plate or to sink it deep into the wood. It was celebrated for what it was. The right material for the job. I do offer a completely hidden bolt design but there would be an extra cost as I have custom nuts made for the bolts and the woodwork required is time consuming. I prefer to see the blackened bolt as a detail that contrasts nicely to the warm wood. Check out this and other designs at www.TimothyClark.com.<br />

This one leans a bit farther in the one of a kind direction. After months and months of building my usual designs, I made this piece as a fun "no rules" exercise. When I began, I was not even sure that I would make a bench and had planned to make a small table out of one end or the other of this live edge slab. As I was ready to cut the plank, I started to appreciate the center part of the plank with all of the "character". So, on a whim, I cut off the ends and left a 57" length with the "character" right in the middle, deciding that it would be a bench. Realizing that the center would not be strong enough to sit on, unsupported, I decided to give it a center leg. The stretchers that support that center leg come into it at an angle to echo the curve of the seat. As I turned the legs, I designed as I went having nothing in particular in mind. I turned the straight collar section at the joints, stepped it down for a tapering run to the bottom and top. I really like the graceful curve of the seat. This would be strange normally but works beautifully as it is the natural curve of the tree. This bench is available and is priced at $1800. Let me know if you are interested. <br />

One year, I have a string of beds to do, then a few dining tables in a row or a number of case pieces. Some years, all I do it make chairs. This year has been the year of the Waltham Bench. I have been doing these one after the other in different finishes, colors and sizes. Dare I say, "trend"? We'll see.<br />
<br />
I do like making these and while the 5' bench is the one that I make most, I have made it in 6', 4 1/2'. 5 1/2', 3', 3.5' and I am in the process of making a 4' version of this bench. I make it with a more traditional tall crest rail but the thin rail has been the most asked for lately. Even though the thin rail has a more modern look, it is still a very traditional form. Stay tuned for one with arms. I have a new order for 4 of them.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pics of recent benches.<br />

I will still offer the laminated leg supports but I was ready for a change. <a href="http://www.timothyclark.com/chairs.html" target="_blank">All of my chair designs can be seen on my website here.</a> The legs and stretchers are rough turned on the lathe and then hand planed to the final shape on the shaving horse. <br />

The New Waltham Side Chair Rocker which I also call the <b>Musician's Rocker,</b> replaces my previous side chair rocker. The New Waltham seat is larger and more comfortable and the look works for me. You can see it here on my website. http://www.timothyclark.com/r_newwalrock.html<br />

Next up is my latest 3' Waltham Bench which this time has the thin crest rail which has been very popular over the last few years. I originally thought that this design was impractical since it was so small but this one was for a mudroom and is a great place to get in and out of shoes as you place your bags or other stuff on the bench next to you.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I delivered this bench to the NYC restaurant Rouge Tomate in Chelsea this last summer and much of the previous six months were taken up with its creation. It was a very challenging project on many levels. The main challenges were physical because of its sheer size, and technical for figuring out the corners and to make the four sections function as separate pieces as well as working as one. My back took weeks to get to normal after straining it day after day of moving the sections around my small shop. </div>
<br />
I started referring to it as the "28 leg windsor bench" as it was a bit difficult to otherwise describe. It is 25' 10" long and at both ends it takes a right angle turn to extend 54" from the back (of the long section) to the end of the arm rail.<br />

Below are a bunch of shots taken during the building process. The order in which the parts are made is critical in a project like this since all of the parts need to end up working like a huge whole unit. There are no guides for how to do a project like this. As far as I know, this has not been done before, so I was making it up as I went along. The challenge of making it work as a single unit is that I was never able to assemble the whole bench until I installed it in the client's restaurant.</div>

Lots!In my digital world, Instagram has been a huge new thing. Please take a look at my page at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/timothyclarkfurniture/">https://www.instagram.com/timothyclarkfurniture/</a> It is a good place to see what is happening in my shop in an off the cuff way. Lots of shots of things happening as they are happening. Pretty much whatever catches my eye. The drawback of Instagram is that I have been neglecting my blog posts.<br />
So, here are a few things-<br />
<br />
I got a nice picture from an NY customer, showing my their round ended trestle table that I made for them last year. It is nice to see it all ready for guests. The round ends allow is to seat 8 people very nicely. A previous post about the building of this table is here- http://windsorchairsvermont.blogspot.com/2015/04/back-in-shop.html and finished pictures are on my website here- http://www.timothyclark.com/t_trestleroundend.html<br />

I made Waltham Arm chair #102 a couple of weeks ago. I am now working on #105 and 106 and will start soon on #'107 - #114.<br />
You will notice in the picture below, I marked the chair as #101. I just looked through my book and saw that I had already numbered a New Waltham Arm chair with an office base with the number 101. Oh well. Case of the double 101.<br />

<br />
Below is a Cod Rib Arm Chair that I made back around 1990. I just delivered a dining table to them and they were customers from way back when I was getting started. I made some of my first sets of chairs for them. This one had a seat glue joint that needed some attention and while I had it, I decided to replace the braces on the legs.<br />
I do not know what number this chair is but it could be under number 20.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgga8f2bwx8vxDtKMKk064oAu992boqSdiYS1NO1eVuYXu4H_WZiIGpTW09EFwzzvKwVgJMbFo6lqEiLcljkMO9QkAMNZyrgxtS45L1Au0PL6PGzHkY-FPPIvuBdFt4Hh_VYiOfA2zT5v4a/s1600/IMG_0587.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgga8f2bwx8vxDtKMKk064oAu992boqSdiYS1NO1eVuYXu4H_WZiIGpTW09EFwzzvKwVgJMbFo6lqEiLcljkMO9QkAMNZyrgxtS45L1Au0PL6PGzHkY-FPPIvuBdFt4Hh_VYiOfA2zT5v4a/s320/IMG_0587.JPG" width="240" /></a><br />
<br />
Currently, I am making Cod Rib Arm Chair # 118. The drill but not shaped seat is sitting on a seat for a 5' Waltham Bench in the same condition. I have another cherry version of that same bench roughed out to the same point. Whenever I can, I like to make more than one at the same time as there is a lot of set up for each step of the way. These benches will be #13 and #14.<br />

<br />
Below are some of the many spindles that will go into those two benches. 32 for each bench. Lots of hand planing on the shaving horse.<br />

I have had a very busy summer and fall that has not left me with a lot of free time. I did just start an instagram page- <a href="https://instagram.com/timothyclarkfurniture/" target="_blank">timothyclarkfurniture</a> that I am using quite a bit. Mostly, I am posting shots of work in progress right from<br />
the shop. You can see a small slideshow at the right on this page. <br />
<br />
I am just finishing up a king size <a href="http://www.timothyclark.com/b_nealbed.htm" target="_blank">Painted Pencil Post Bed</a> that will be going to Texas soon. It is my second pencil post bed to Houston in the last six months. Interesting. The pictures below were taken after the first coat of milk paint. It is still gray and dull looking. After the second coat, it will be oiled and then sealed and will have a dark look with a low sheen.<br />

Below is a drawing of the huge bench that has taken up much of my time lately. It will be over 25' long and will turn a corner at each end and run for a bit over 4'. So in all, it will be around 33' feet long. The Buddha had 33 teeth they say. So therefore... when I finish I may just achieve Nirvana. Just checking to see if anyone is reading this.<br />

I finally finished this table, photographed it, and it is now in it's new home. I received a call from the client when the table arrived and they were very happy with how it came out. I love those calls. I am looking forward to seeing pictures of it in place.</div>

In the meantime, I have started the next Trestle Table that will have a rectangle top and a painted base, a Cod Rib Rocker, a 5 1/2' Waltham Bench, and a set of Waltham Chairs.</div>

The round ends posed a bit of a challenge as a hand cut radius is very hard to make to appear true. So, I made a jig for the router and cut the curves that way.<br />

The edge treatment for this table base and top is a round that is less than a bullnose. A router is used to define a uniform depth and then the curve is shaped by hand with a plane. Below, shows the edge of the table routed and then finished.</div>

Enjoy the sunny weather. I got out for my first bike ride with my new hip. That was really fun even if it was just 1/4 mile or so. Happy Spring!</div>

<br /></div>
<br />
A client asked for a trestle bench to go with my Trestle Dining Table. It was impossible to scale the trestle structure down exactly as it would be much too weak but I was able to incorporate many of the details that the table has. The edge treatment for the top and base is the same as that of table. The bench needs to be very strong as it is under more stress than a table with perhaps more than 300lbs of leaning, shifting, scooting humans at each meal. The backless design also works well as sitters can climb in and out from the back without the need to scoot the whole bench out. <br />

This is the <a href="http://www.timothyclark.com/t_boattbl.htm" target="_blank">Boat Top Table</a> that I just made for a friend of mine from college. The time consuming part of this table is due to the curved aprons that follow the same curve at the sides of the top. First the aprons must be laminated into a curve and then the tenons that join them to the legs must be cut. I suppose if I made this table all the time, I would have set up a jig to do this joint on a machine but since the last time I made this table was in 1999, I did the joints by hand. Planning is critical because I needed a large flat area in which to lay out the joint and to cut the joint. The table top was perfect for this. It allowed both ends of the curved apron to lay on the same plane so that they could be marked square to each other.<br />

This latest variation of my chairs is my Waltham Rocker with a thin crest rail instead of the traditional crest rail. I like them both but I have to say that this thin rail fits my minimal early American sensibilities. <br />
<br />
These two were requested by a client who had seen my <a href="http://www.timothyclark.com/images/ph_rockers.jpg" target="_blank">Waltham Rockers at the Park Hyatt in Washington D.C. </a><br />
<br />
<br />

Below are a few more shots of this chair.<br />
