If you wanna real piss off a maker, call their handmade baskets and woven chair seats “whicker”. Apparently that is usually a term for cheap factory made ones that use inferior materials and put many handmade makers out of business in the mid-1900’s. I only made the mistake once.

That chair from this-here clip is not "wicker". They way I have seen "wicker" based furniture always uses only round wood, like 1/16 or 1/8 inch diameter, material from "reed and swamp grasses" (source: Wikipedia:en:wicker). Yes; Wicker is *a* weaving technique.

@@DerMarkus1982 precisely. It’s what I thought woven chair seats or baskets were as a kid. I said that about something a real good craftsman had made when I was helping load things up as an event volunteer once, and he really let me have it as he schooled me in the differences. He was really good friends with a mentor and boss of mine. It took awhile to convince my boss that I didn’t mean to offend the guy.

On the post and rung chair, I think the seat is made from split hickory wood as opposed to hickory bark.
@glennwilck54593 ай бұрын
Nope hickory bark is choice material

We had a stick. My parents would bring to every Rugby/football match. But known as a "Shooting Stick". A walking stick with a handled and hinged top which would open with a leather piece to sit on at shooting events. I think there are a few photos of the English Queen carrying one.

I've made a stool(could use not practice on angled tenons...) but always wanted to make a chair maybe a rocking one. That'd be a GREAT video for ya, making a rocking chair. Maybe even a short series!

so what is a chair with "plank" seat but not separate parts like the stick chair..
@markkieran10043 ай бұрын
In the west of England, we call it a plank seat chair. In the North, it's called a board seat chair, but in the East, where we have no timber, it's called a rush chair. In Western Scotland, where it's windy, it's an air chair!

I mean, it might *also* be called that, but I'm fairly certain he knows enough about what he's talking about for "post and rung chair" to also be a viable name, especially since it *does* fit that definition

So the South Carolina post chair with rungs and plank seats falls into what Category? I purchased my set of four from the makers back in 1974 to go with the table my great Great grandfather made shortly after the civil war i Clinton north Carolina . The set has been in my home since then.
