Heart Back Arm Chair by Kevin Ainsworth — view 1

Secondary Wood: Ash Finish: Super Blond shellac and wax The inspiration for this chair came from Sack's 10 volume set American Antiques. I scaled the chair from the photo, making only minor changes. I chose this chair as I like the overall form of heart backs. Since it was an arm chair, I wanted to work out the joinery process for the arms.
