A friend of mine in Oregon gave it to me. She said her grandfather made it. She mentioned something about the tv show "the Waltons". I was watching the show one day and believe it was the dinning set Ike and Corabeth Godfrey used. I saw the same design on the back of a dinning chair on the show. I just appreciate the fact that someone made it. It's not fancy but it's nice and it works. Not all the chairs survived.
