Building these beautiful and comfortable sculptured lowback dining chairs is a challenge for any woodworker. During the past two years, Charles Brock's Sculptured Chair Plan Bundles (DVD, book and drawings) have opened the door for woodworkers to undertake this challenge. A number of examples of their success can be seen on Charles' website.

Charles has now taken the process a step further, making available a walnut parts kit that provides all the wooden pieces necessary for constructing one of these chairs.

This kit significantly reduces the amount of time required, and in particular reduces the amount of mistakes that many woodworkers tend to make due to the complex construction.

The critical "seat to leg" joinery and the coopering and reinforcement of the seat joints are among the more complex and challenging parts of the rocker construction. With the kit, this joinery has already been performed making the joining of the legs to the seat ("legging up") quick and easy. The parts are provided already in accurately rough-shaped form, ready for the kit buyer to prepare the final fit and assembly. Still, there is a great deal of shaping to be done by the kit builder with rasps and other tools to satisfactorily contour the various parts before, during and after final assembly.

The Sculptured Lowback Dining Chair Kit by Charles Brock eliminates the need to purchase a number of expensive router bits, the need to have an 8" jointer, and the need to purchase a Festool Domino joining system, typically saving over $2000 in tools. This kit is comprised of American Walnut, and is entirely manufactured here in America.

During construction, it is important for the kit builder to reference the instructions contained in Charles Brock's original plan bundle, which is available separately for $49.99, but is available at a discount when purchased at the same time as the Lowback Dining Chair Kit. In addition, Charles Brock's website, chairbuilder's forum, and his personal interaction are also available to further assist the chairbuilder throughout the construction process.
