The arm rail, arm supports, and legs are made of maple, the seat is made out of white pine, and the bow and spindles are made from ash.  The bow and seven tapered spindles are tenoned through the arm rail, which, at the arm terminal, is flat and curves away from the chair in an oxbow and wave-like shape. From the arm rail to the grooved back of the saddle-shaped seat are tenoned eleven tapered spindles. The arm supports from the arm rail are collared and baluster turned with spool and compressed ball-turning connecting with the plank in a cone shape. The seat is oval-shaped with a saddled contour that peaks at the middle in a slight pommel.   From the plank, four folded collar, baluster, spool and compressed ball-turned legs extend into swelled and tapered terminals. Of the H-stretcher, the medial component is double grooved and swelled and the side rails swell in a pronounced oval shape bisected with a groove.  [S.J. TUCKE] branded under seat.
