Gabriel Shannon, Continuous Arm Windsor Settle (Furniture)

This settle was made at a Windsor chair making course at the Brooklyn workshop Molong NSW with tutors Geoff Tonkin and Howard Archbold. The legs, stretchers and arm sticks are Robinia pseudoacacia cut from the banks of the Mandagery Creek and turned on a pole lathe. The elm seat is from a 140 year old tree taken from a schoolyard in Blayney NSW. The 21 claret ash backsticks are from a tree taken out of a garden in Orange, NSW. The continuous arm is American ash which was steam bent.
