George Lucido's Projects

This is a Connecticut style, circa 1800, sack-back-Windsor chair made under the direction of Tim Killen. The seat is made from Monterey cyprus, the legs and stretchers are from local silver maple and the bows and spindles are Modesto ash, finished with milk paint and linseed oil. It took me 15 weeks to complete the chair, a bit slow but worth the effort. July 2010.
