A four legged Country stool design reduced to twelfth scale. The picture shows a stool made in Mexican Rose wood but it can be supplied in a plain wood stained to match any colour of other woods.
Price 15.00 GBP
The spindle chair is from a twelfth scale miniaturists book. It can also be called a Brewster Chair in America. This one is made from stock ramin dowel as the book suggest. However I am not a fan of ramin as a modelling wood as it is too brittle so in future I will use wood from stock that I make myself.

This is 1/12th scale reduction of a country cradle design (click on the image to enlarge it). The fielded panels are tongued and grooved, the rails and muntins are mortise and tenon jointed as per the large scale item. This example is made from African Black wood to simulate an aged dark oak. The grain is very fine, in fact a beautiful wood. It can be made from other lighter woods and stained to other oak colours.

Price Other Wood Stained to suit 250.00 GBP
The catalogue number refers to the given number in the 2009 Edition of "Charles Rennie Mackintosh - The Complete Furniture, Furniture Drawings & Interior Designs" by Roger Billcliffe. This book gives the historical details of the design, its use and the overall sizes of the piece. The other sizes have been scaled from the photgraph and research as to the possible construction method carried out. It must be pointed out that it is nearly impossible to get close enough to these valuable pieces of furniture to take sizes from them. There may be shop drawings for them somewhere but as yet I have to find them in published form.
This piece is made from African Black Wood which in scale simulates Ebonised Oak Wood or Fumed Oak Wood

See Domino Table re the Cat. No. These tables were made for the Library in the Glasgow School of Art. Alas they must surely have been destroyed by the fire in the Library on the 25th May 2014 as the fire was absolutely devastating. The library has now been mdelled in full scale and is ready for a reconstruction back to the original, excepting updates through the years, using the full scale model. The model is then to be sold.
The interesting feature of this table is that the design, typical Macintosh, is different at the top of each leg. Once again it is modelled in African Black Wood. Almost all Mackintosh furniture was either black or white. I believe there are some green pieces and one known yellow piece in the Glasgow School of Art.

This chair is scaled from a design in "Making Classic Country Chairs" by David Bryant. It has been a long standing project for me to make because I like the delicate nature of the chair typical of the Shaker design. I used the 4th axis in the CNC mill to get the exacting detail as a practice in using the attachment. The seat webbing is hand woven using 2 mm silk ribbon. The orange and pale blue is the colour schime from the book, the black and gold is my own feeling of richness. I honestly think that the Shakers would not have had these colours to hand and something much plainer would have been used. Any colour for the weaving can be supplied as long as it comes in 2 mm silk ribbon.
