Hand carved

A portrait of Chester Cornett, master chairmaker and innovative designer who fashions his chairs with simple hand tools. The camera follows Cornett as he cuts down a tree on the site of his family home in Appalachia, transports the wood to inner-city Cincinnati where he lives and builds entirely by hand an exquisite eight-legged two-in-one rocker.
