Tim Manney is a chair and tool maker based in Portland, Maine. He primarily builds ladderback chairs using green woodworking principles, but also uses kiln-dried lumber in his process. Although he started his woodworking journey making chairs with influential Windsor chairmaker Curtis Buchannan in Tennessee, he’s found that he’s making more tools for Windsor chairmaking than chairs these days. Tim pays special attention to how he can work with his body the same way he works with the fibers of wood.

Tim’s big craft crush is Curtis Buchannan.
