Fan-Back Armchair Plan

by American Furniture Design

This 36" × 48" plan is complemented with a detailed and well-written instruction book that contains a bill of materials, a cutting list, jig and fixture plans (where necessary), alternative construction notes and suggested finishing techniques.

A large, comfortable chair with good proportions, this design has its origins in the coastal area of Massachusetts. The crest is steam bent using a form. The back spindles are turned and are tenoned into the arms, giving the chair great strength. When complete, the chair measures 44" high by 24" wide and 17" deep.

Skill level – Advanced.
