Make your own Windsor Chair

On this flagship course you will make a comb backed Windsor Chair.

We start by splitting ash logs, which are chopped, shaved and then turned on the pole lathe. The first three days are devoted to making all the turned parts which are dried in our kiln. On day four you shape your chair seat using specialist hand tools, while also preparing a comb and steam bending it to fit. Friday sees the assembly of the legs and stretchers into the seat, and on Saturday the back sticks and comb are fitted.

You will go away with a fully functioning chair to be proud of. This 6-day course is quite demanding both physically and mentally but within the capabilities of most, will reasonably fit adults of all ages. Feel free to enquire.
