Mission Settleby
Richard Bissell Fine WoodworkingQuartersawn white oak
This settle was built to the exacting specifications of the customer. He was particularly concerned that the quartersawn grain be visible on all 4 sides of the legs. He required that the legs be made from 4 pieces of 2" thick quartersawn white oak that were mitered together to form each leg. Pinned through mortise and tenon joinery was used whenever possible. The cushions were made by a local custom upholstery shop. The same customer also bought a custom Morris chair and ottoman.
