Davies' interest in food and cooking led her to design a chair that could be described in the form of a recipe, made up from a variety of woods (almost all of those which AHEC offers) some of which are nut-bearing species. The design is based on the form of a kitchen chair with the seat built up from offcuts of numerous timbers. 

The legs are of American hickory, chosen because of its strength and straightness, and also because this use suits the fact that it is only available in relatively small widths. The 'H' structure joining the legs is in the related timber, pecan. American maple was used for the spindles, and the hoop of the back is in straight-grained American cherry.
