detail, carved box. PF, Sept 2024
If you read my substack blog, this is just a re-hash from there yesterday, about some woodwork for sale- one carved box and a ladderback chair at a slight discount. If you'd like to claim either of these, send an email to me PeterFollansbee7@gmail.com check or paypal - but I'll tack paypal's fee on. I'm making more chairs and boxes this fall, so if you'd like to order something, send a note. Thanks for looking…PF
Carved box, alternating lunettes
This is one I've made several times. The carving design is included in my Lost Art Press book Joiner's Work - there, for lack of any better term, I called it "alternating lunettes." It's based on a box I saw over 20 years ago in a private collection. It was made by the Savell family of joiners in Braintree, Massachusetts, c. 1640-1680. Mine is oak with a pine top and bottom. I used wooden hinges instead of iron.

The ends are carved, as on the original. Not as common in the period as in my shop…I tend to almost always carve the ends.

Ladderback chair
Red oak, hickory bark seat.
PF ladderback, Sept 2024
One of my standard Jennie Alexander-style ladderbacks. With a slight flaw, so a bit of a discount. The chair is perfectly sound, sits as it should, etc - but one of the front posts cracked at assembly. I still will guarantee this chair - I doubt there'll be any problem. But I can't very well charge full price for it - the crack is at the top of the post:

I didn't want to scrap the whole chair because of a small split that is just cosmetic - so I figured I'd reduce the price by $200. Usually I sell these for $1,500 plus shipping in US - which is around $250 or so. This one then will be $1, 300 plus shipping in US.
