Wil Henry Cobble makes chairs, really nice chairs. Each one hand crafted works of art that are designed to last for generations as mute testimony to the careful attention to detail and the patience of their maker. To souls like Wil Henry chair making is not something that you do, but rather who you are. There is great satisfaction in the completion of a piece, but for Wil Henry the joy is in the creative process. When you ask Wil Henry Cobble if he considers himself an artist or a craftsman, he pauses, then with a twinkle in his eyes, he says,"You don't have to make a painting or a sculpture that is comfortable. I have to make a chair, that first of all works as a chair, then I have to make that chair a work of art. In a way this is a lot harder."
