Straight Chair
The best known of all Shaker chairs is the so-called "slat back" or straight chair from the Canterbury, New Hampshire community. Chairs of this type were made by the Shakers with the intent that they would be used in the community (unlike the chairs produced at the Mt. Lebanon Shaker chair factory for sale to the "World's people").
The tall back posts with their delicately rounded finials and the smooth curved slats give it a look of grace and beauty. We make the Straight Chair in clear hard maple, carefully turned and fitted.
Available as an unfinished kit and a "made to order" finished piece.
