Max Woody, Chair Maker: A Legacy in Wood
No Customer Reviews
On the day in June of 1950 when Max Woody bought his first woodworking machines, he took a leap-not a step-onto the path that he would faithfully follow for a lifetime. Max Woody had a dream that has kept him making chairs for 64 years. A sixth generation chair maker, he came to wood naturally and honed his skills in his grandfather's shop after his father's early death. Using local wood from North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, he makes traditional ladder back chairs and rocking chairs one by one, by using the time-tested methods of his ancestors. Who was that energetic boy who bore a heavy load? Who is that man so long committed to his chosen purpose and a lifelong friend to many? Words and photographs tell his story. I never had a hobby, but if I did, I'm sure it would be making chairs. -Max Woody
