John Dowling's Sugan Chair, Rocking Chairs, Armchairs & Childrens Chairs for SaleJohn Dowling, who hails from Listowel, a traditional market town in County Kerry is one ofthe few furniture. He is a man who is very familiar with all aspects of wood from planting, harvesting, milling and finally carpentry. John grew up with a love and talent for wood working and well remembers the use of Sugan chairs and furniture in the homes of his grand-parents. As a result of a family request to repair and replace old Sugan chairs, John's interest in this old Irish furniture type was re-kindled and he began making pieces for family and friends. This resulted in a growth in community interest and local sales grew to the point where he now has a small production facility in Listowel making also traditional Rocking chairs, Armchairs & childs chairs. |

Sugan Chair Construction
Sugan chairs are crafted without nails and their Mortise& Tenon wood joints that hold it together. Unlike most
modern furniture these traditional furniture will last for
generations and in the past this furniture was
considered an heirloom to be handed down to the next
generation.
The final part in the construction of a Sugan chair is an
element known as the "Weave" which you sit upon. In
past years (long gone) the material used in the process
was "Hemp", today it has been replaced by "Twine".
The "Weave" John uses is locally known as the
"Smearla Weave" believed to date back over 120 years.
More importantly this type of weave provides comfort
and strength to the whole frame of these Irish chairs.
