Mama's chair is built from hand picked Ponderosa Pine out of the beautiful Blue Mountains in Walla Walla, Wa. Each piece is hand selected and built with Tenon and Mortise joints for the strength you seek in quality log furniture. The seat is built out of true 1" Pine rough cut boards that we sand and cut to fit each individual piece. The cushion is optional and can be added for an additional $85. We have a variety of options for design on the cushions.
