The Stick Chair Journal, Issue No. 2

The Stick Chair Journal from Lost Art Press is an annual publication that expands the universe of all things stick chair: more history, plans, techniques and tool reviews. It supplements The Stick Chair Book, and each issue contains a complete plan for a stick chair.

The Journal has no advertising and is printed to the same specifications as Lost Art Press books: pages folded into signatures and sewn, wrapped in heavy card stock stamped with the cover image.

Issue No. 2 includes:
