Project Description:

Ladder-Back Chairs

Tell us how you used the PantoRouter in this project:

Shea Vollstedt is a custom furniture maker based in Portland, Oregon.  His designs are clean and modern and he uses the PantoRouter® for virtually all of his joinery.  

“With the task of designing and creating ten custom ladder-back dining chairs, the PantoRouter® served yet again as a vital contributor in my most recent client project.  From prepping tenoned rungs that could easily be transferred to the lathe for turning to producing specific tenons for each curved, steam-bent back slat, having the PantoRouter® at my disposal made for ingenuitive, accurate, and easy-to-produce joinery that is essential to the strength and durability of these chairs.”

Any special materials or other equipment used in this project?
