IRISH TUAM

Tuam is a location in Ireland. Now a town, originally better known as the archdiocese. The idea of a "Scottish Tuam" is as nonsensical as a Windsor chair made outside Berkshire 8-)

I'm not familiar with this pattern of chair being described as a "Tuam chair". As it happens, Tuam does have a famous chair but it's a stone throne allegedly the coronation chair of the O'Connor kings.

Looks damned uncomfortable!

Who cares? You make one, and give it to the cousin you don't like, or your mother-in-law - they'll think you're great, and never get rid of it, no matter how uncomfortable it is. No prob.

JOAT You'll never get anywhere if you believe what you "hear". What do you "know"?.
