Artist's Comments

1993. Life was good. I had time on my hands so I bought some sycamore locally and made this chair. After I built and carved it I scorched it with a blowlamp, rubbed it down, stained it, sealed it with shellac and gave it seven or eight coats of wax.

I love old furniture, really old furniture. The basic design is loosely based on English oak chairs from around 1600 although the girl's face and kingfishers went a bit art nouveau-ish.

It's very heavy and very comfortable and looks totally out of place in the small, modern house we rent these days. :)

Please respect my copyright, thanks.

Capitalism and religion kill the animals, individuals and society. They can kill you in a variety of ways, slow or quick. There can be no happiness or peace on this planet, no prosperity for the masses, as long as this slavery continues.

Thank you kindly David. Oh yeah! A rocker would be fantastic and probably lethal to passing toes :)
