Clear and detailed explanation, thank you. I do like the last photo of you pensively gazing at your nice stick chair handwork.

Cheers,

Michael

I do a lot of pensive gazing in the workshop. Probably more of that than woodworking if I'm honest.

The precise explanations offered in this series on the six-stick chairs are very helpful indeed. Like having a conversation (one-sided notwithstanding) to flesh-out details and experience that either did not find a place in other sources on stick chairs, or that you say in a new way that makes the processes more precise. A valuable contribution to the literature on the subject, merci!

Yes, don’t we all do a lot of gazing and pondering in the workshop as to our next move.

Cheers.

Please excuse my ignorance but where do you get the octagon sticks ? Are they commercially available or do you make them.

Thanks

You make them. Start off with a 3/4" square section and plane the corners off, leaving you with an octagon. It's quick and easy work.
