Anyone have a plan/guide for making a Shaker chair? I need to make one for a doll my wife just made for our grand-daughter. The seat would need to be around nine inches off the floor but I'd be happy to reduce a full scale plan if available.

Thanks BJ. From one of the sites it looks like the hard part is going to be weaving the seat on a small scale version. That might be a job for SWMBO and I'll restrict myself to the woodwork side of things.

You can send off for this neat book but it's NOT free.
