John Krubsack Growing Chair

John Krubsack Harvested Chair

The chair that lived’ is the only known grown chair that John Krubsack did. If this is true, it should never be underestimated just how much John had achieved with this example. One of the truly amazing things about this person was his ability to successfully grow an even and balanced chair with his first experiment. 

Quote from the Shawano Leader Newspaper in 19th October of 1922

What is believed to be the only natural growing chair in the United States now rests in the home of John Krusback, president of Embarrass State bank.

In the fall of 1903. Mr Krusback conceived the idea of a chair made of box elder, but instead of cutting the trees and nailing together, a rustie chair, Mr Krusback had the patience to sow the seed and weaved together, the joints of a chair while the trees were growing started from seed in the fall of 1903 32 little John sitting in harvested chair saplings were selected in 1907, and in 1914 the chair was completed.
