Host Tom McLaughlin shares his technique for making a Craftsman-style dining chair out of white oak this week on Rough Cut with Fine Woodworking. It's an example of mortise and tenon chair construction employing peg joinery and traditional chair making, amplified with details that modernize the honest construction of the Craftsman period. Tom also adds an upholstered seat to the piece, helping make this chair both functional and comfortable.
