Default Maloof Chair Backrests


"Greg G." wrote in message

Can anyone tell me the method Sam Maloof uses to create the curved,
7 rail backrest slats on his signature chairs?

With his penchant for free-handing things on a bandsaw (thus removing
various fingertips as well), I have imagined he might cut them from
solid stock. But could it be that he uses a more conventional method
such as steam bending?


Everything I've seen points to the former (bandsaw) ... I've seen many
pictures of him doing exactly that with solid stock.
