Two cleft chairs

These individual and robust oak chairs are fitted with a removable back-piece. Each chair has a three-wedge joint between seat and back-piece, to be tapped tight. Occasionally a big log split-up will release some shapes just right for the comfort of seats and backs. The success is a mixture of experience and luck, following the lines of inner tree growth with wedge-and-mallet.
