Shadrach Birdic "Birdie" Mace, 1892-1973, demonstrated chair making at many of the Craftsman's Fairs. Here he sits at a draw-horse using a draw-knife to do the shaping for chair pieces. His wife, Sara, makes the chair seats by twisting cornhusks and weaving them around the wooden frame. The photograph was taken by Edward L. Dupuy at the 1951 Craftsman's Fair of the Southern Highlands in Asheville, North Carolina.
