Dining Chair, High Back
A Walnut High Back Dining Chair, inspired by Sam Maloof. Constructed from Premium Balck Walnut and sanded and polished to 4000 grit. The back legs splay out at a 5 degree angle giving the chair a pleasing look. The chair is finished with three coats of hand rubbed oil finish. One of the most comfortable chairs I have made.

Meet the Maker
Edward Rizzardi
Ed Rizzardi, Woodworker
From Ed's shop in Rancho Cucamonga, California Ed Rizzardi builds furniture at a workbench the way he believes heirloom furniture is meant to be made. This includes careful selection of quality hardwoods, exposed jointery, sculpted lines, oil finish and tasteful designs.
"Craftsmanship deeply rooted in experience is the heartbeat of my shop. I enjoy the challenge of taking old skills and doing new creative work with them."
My pieces are competitive to commercially produced furniture when one considers longevity and the fact that all the cost involved is labor and materials. There are no retail mark ups, sales commissions or expensive marketing techniques.
Ed believes handcrafted pieces are different. They require thought, patience and good design. These pieces create a relationship between the craftsman, the user and the material; a relationship that is rare today. Ed is committed to this kind of craftsmanship.
Ed signs and dates each piece.
