Chair, Timberline Lodge

This is the same style of chair found in the cascade Dining Room (this chair was in the Ram's Head Lounge.) While unpadded and solid wood they are actually pretty comfortable to sit in, the sign of a good design! Notice the seat is a single slab of wood. Also notice the Timberline Arch in the seat back. In the chair to the left notice the bend of the rear-leg/seat-back piece. If you look at the wood grain you can see that the wood was not warped to this shape, but was cut from a larger block. It appears the rear leg/seat back was made by laminating a 4x4 to a 2x4, then trimming it down to give it the "S" shape, probably using a band saw.
