This design is based on the ‘stick-back’ chair tradition, where the seat is the solid foundation for jointing hewn uprights and riven legs. The oak has been locally sourced in the Scottish Borders. Riven refers to oak that has been split from large butts by ‘wedge-and-mallet’ and not converted to planks by machine.
