My Windsor Chairs are handcrafted, of course, in Vermont. They are made of
several woods: pine, oak, ash, maple, and birch. The process begins in selecting the right
tree, splitting, planing
and using the proper drying techniques for assembling.
All spindles, bows and arm rests are shaved by hand. The seat is made of one
solid piece of pine and carved until the desired shape is achieved.
The bow backs and arm rests are steam bent and the legs are all individually
turned on a lathe. Hand-rubbed milk paint finish completes the process.
The result is a magnificent chair, delicate in appearance, sturdy in use.
