Looking for plans or pictures of Shaker shawl chairs with hard seat

[sgtdave]

I am looking for special type. NOt the ladder back style.
The one I am seeking has spinal es though the seat and a curved back attached to the spindles

If you can locate a copy of, "The Book of Shaker Furniture", by John Kassay, there are two chairs that might match what you are looking for on p. 80.

One chair is referred to as an "apple sorting" chair, and the other as a "step-up" chair.

Your local library may have a copy of this book.

Dave,

Here is a link to what Bill was referencing.

In case the link doesn't come through, google "Shaker Chair Apple Sorting" and it was the first item for me.
