Ladder Back Chair | S4 E13 *

The ladderback chair with simple, elegant turnings and a woven seat is one of the Shaker's most ingenious and well-known designs. The chairs came in several sizes to fit different physiques. Light and sturdy, these chairs are a hallmark of the Shaker furniture industry. The New Yankee version is made from cherry. Norm demonstrates how to weave the seat.
