Hazel Chair

[Earlyturtle]

As all these chair threads are going around, it seems like a good time to show this one:

Made it on a day course two saturdays back. It's composed of around 32 hazel spars of different sizes and 60-70 annular nails. Wish I'd given it a sturdier back but it does take my weight (it's my new computer chair). Please excuse the mess!

I am saving up hazel spars at the moment for a similar project....though I am hoping to make it a folding chair for ease of transport to campfires!
I love the look of the back!

Haha, no secrets there. In fact I was the least successful person on the course, I was so slow I had to take mine home and finish it the next day
