bikermutt07 Posted February 10, 2018 Report Posted February 10, 2018 That is really neat. Is it a folding\travelling chair? Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Expand Thanks. It comes apart but it does not fold. 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

Members DV8DUG Posted February 11, 2018 Members Report Posted February 11, 2018 I love the chair. Nice craftsmanship. What kind of wood did you use?

Expand Stonegate, that's awesome you know it as a Roorkhee chair. 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

Expand Its funny you should ask. 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 12:11 AM, Fire88 said: That is really nice and thanks for the history lesson!
