A classic low back "double seater", this Windsor bench features a well-saddled plank seat with a carved triangular recess at the center rear. The arm spindles and arm supports are through-tenon-wedged to the arms while the back spindles are stop-tenoned to the arm rail.
Each bench 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 with your choice of colored lacquer or milk paint. Choose your finish milk paint color from the sample board.
