The Windsor Writing Arm Chair is based off from a traditional Comb-back Windsor design. The comb-back is considered the first "American-made" Windsors. These popular and comfortable chairs featured an oval seat, with arms typically made up of a single, steam-bent piece of wood, and legs with a simple taper in the foot.
Each chair begins with locally milled green lumber. Every seat is hand-carved from Eastern White Pine. We do all of our turnings by hand on a lathe out of maple or black birch. Every spindle is rived and shaved on a shave horse to ensure the grain is left unbroken from end to end. This traditional process is repeated on the chair's back before steaming and bending. The legs are set using a traditional tapered lock joint which increases the chair's stability.
Finally, everything is wedged, hand sanded, and finished. Choose your finish milk paint color from the sample board. Click on the image for a close up. Due to the many variations in monitors and browsers, color samples may appear different on different monitors and screens.
