A portable chair to build

Article Abstract:

A buckskinner chair was used traditionally for sitting and holding goods and hides on mules. It consists of two wooden pieces that are linked in an 'X' shape. It needs only a carpenter's square, a jigsaw and one 8-ft board, out of which two 35-inch lengths are cut.
