Make A Chair From A Tree DVD, by John D. Alexander Jr.. 90 Pages. Video. Don't look for any hidden meaning in the title of this new DVD from Baltimore based woodworker and wooworking instructor John Alexander. It's about what it says it's about--making a chair from a tree. Sharing nearly 50 years of experience, Alexander takes the viewer through all of the steps necessary to make a chair, from the felling of the tree to cutting, riving, shaping and shaving the components to their final form. As the project proceeds, Alexander shares insight into the properties of green wood and advises the viewer on how to take advantage of the shrinking and swelling properties of wood to produce a long lasting piece of furniture. $24.95 (BK-0455)
