The original design was from the late 1800's. Its meant for an Army's camp or battalion position. Made popular by the British Military Officers. It breaks down in about 5 minutes and can be wrapped into a bundle using the seat and back and securing together with the arm straps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not many people do. Roorkhee was the place in India where it was originally designed. It evolved into different names like the Safari Chair, Campaign Chair, Demountable Chair between the 1920's all the way to the 1970's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The legs are some scrap wood I found in the back of a wharehouse. I think it is some kind of pine/fir but I really don't know. The spreaders are 1 1/4" Poplar Dowels. The Mortise and Tenons were all done by hand. The legs were carved and shaped with a spokeshave by hand. On 2/11/2018 at 3:11 AM, Fire88 said: That is really nice and thanks for the history lesson!
