Living in Portland, Maine, Ric Day is a retired physician turned furniture and chair maker who has a passion to recognize the efforts of our men and women who have served our country. As a father of a US Army combat veteran and as a physician working with Veterans in the VA Hospital system, Ric has a unique professional and personal perspective and passion that he uses to help others find the pleasure of using hand made objects and perhaps eventually make their own and find the satisfaction of creating.

Zach was honored to be part of Chairs of Honor, a program that creates handmade chairs to honor the sacrifices and service of our nation's veterans. A family's handmade chair holds a certain sense of reverence, and Chairs of Honor allows a veteran's story to be tangibly passed down through the generations as a national heirloom. Zach's work symbolizes this metaphor, and he is honored to be a part of it.
