When I created this highchair for Susan's grandson, 6 years had passed since the making of Alex's highchair. I had come full circle in my feelings about the curve of the continuous arm bow. Initially I didn't like the abrupt turn in the arm of the traditional continuous arm chair. Alex's chair has a gentler curve, similar to the one used by Thos. Moser. Since the time I made Alex's chair I wanted to make a traditional continuous arm. This way you get the best of both worlds and can pick the style that suits you best!
