The Stick Chair Journal, Issue No. 4 (Lost Art Press)

The Stick Chair Journal, Issue No. 4, from Lost Art Press. The Stick Chair Journal is an annual publication that expands the universe of all things stick chair: more history, more plans, more techniques, plus tool reviews. It supplements The Stick Chair Book, and each issue contains a complete plan for a stick chair.

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