Craftsman Morris Chair

Traditionally built oak Morris Chair in the Arts and Crafts (Craftsman) style. Woodworking with through tenons and leather seat cushions. Built to last a lifetime and then some.

I like these chairs and the accompanying ottoman and table a lot! I managed to find a well made copy for sale used but excellent condition for $50 but now I want to make another, and maybe a footstool too. This video has helped me on several of the details - so Thanks!

Glad it was helpful.
Working on Morris Chair full build video right now.
Probably out in couple weeks.

Darn fine craftsmanship. Especially like the technique to simulate a bend in the arms.

[@tswwoodworking]

Thank you.
Funny thing, when I had at local shop to have back cushions made. Someone thought they were antiques.
That made me feel good.

Well done! This chair has been on my "one of these days" list forever. I'm inspired. THANK YOU!

[@tswwoodworking]

Thank you!
Let me know how your build goes.

Beautiful!! A very skilled craftsman you are! Shopping for a quality Morris chair, and wow, are they expensive. From $3K to $6K. So, I continue to search, hoping to find something in the $1,000 to $2,000 range. Thanks for posting this video!

[@tswwoodworking]

Thank you very much!
The leather I used for the cushions was pricey, but not that much😁

I’m filming a complete build right now.

nice job

[@tswwoodworking]

Thanks.
Much appreciated.

[@richedgar3322]

it is not traditionally built if you use red oak!!

[@tswwoodworking]

Right you are😄
White oak would be my choice…
But when you have a couple thousand board feet of red from salvaged trees, I had to find a use for it.
I’ll use white next time. ;)
