Randy designed and built the first crane chairs in 1987. Wood Studio has been perfecting the original design for almost 20 years.

The crane chair begins as one piece of wood to ensure consistent grain patters and color. After a lot of sawing, several bent laminations are assembled using modern adhesives. The chair is cold molded, not steam bent, to ensure the shape and stability of each piece. A pinned bride joint locks legs into the hand-shaped seat. These components together provide natural comfort and fantastic back support.

This light piece is perfect for the dining room table or as an occasional chair.

Each crane chair comes natural in color with a hand rubbed oil and wax finish that is durable and easily maintained. The crane chair is available with or without armrests.

Wood Studio offers this signature piece in a variety of native hardwoods, including walnut, cherry, maple, and ash. We are open to special requests for other select materials.

Each Signature Selection offered by Wood Studio is 100% handmade by the Cochrans. We guarantee that each piece will be free from defects in craftsmanship and materials for as long as the piece and the Cochrans are around. Wood Studio builds each piece to provide for generations of enjoyment.
