Don Weber's Slide Archive: Chairmaking Journeys and Welsh Writing Chairs
Lost Art Press has published the second installment of a three-part series showcasing slides from a carousel belonging to chairmaker Don Weber. The images were discovered while Weber collaborated with the press on a profile for The Stick Chair Journal No. 4. The slides document Weber's travels to the Wycombe woodlands in England, his pole lathe, and a Welsh left-handed writing armchair he crafted. Captions provided by Weber accompany the photographs, including scenes of an Appalachian chairmaker and his daughter, a bodger's pub, and the beech woods of High Wycombe. The series offers a visual record of traditional chairmaking techniques and regional woodworking traditions. The post was written by Kara Gebhart Uhl and published on August 16, 2026.
