Eastern Kentucky artist featured in book about Appalachian chairmakers WEKU
—
It’s a warm spring afternoon in Floyd County, Kentucky. Near the top of a steep hill in the head of a holler sits a log cabin. It’s the home of folk artist Terry Ratliff and he built it 40 years ago. This is where sixty-nine-year-old Ratliff spends time crafting chairs.
Using a sledgehammer and steel wedge chairmaker Terry Ratliff splits a log outside his Floyd County workshop.
