Book by Andy D. Glenn from Lost Art Press about chairmakers in Appalachia. For more than 200 years, chairmakers there built ladderbacks to sell to neighbours and the occasional tourist, a tradition handed down through generations. With the rise of furniture factories and mechanisation, Glenn wondered if any traditional chairmakers were left.
He set off into the mountains with a camera and a tape recorder and found many still working the craft, some by hand and others who have added machines. Part travelogue, part profile and part how-to, the book takes you inside the shops of more than 20 makers, with photos and interviews about their lives and techniques.
Glenn then shows how to make a post-and-rung side chair and rocking chair using the traditional techniques explored in the book.
