The Art of Chairmaking is the definitive guide to making Windsor chairs, with essential information on tools, materials and techniques.
Windsor chairs, where the legs are mortised into the seat and don’t form the backrest, are known for the striking elegance of their form. This book is the perfect introduction to the art of making these distinctive chairs, explaining every step, from selecting the right wood and setting up a workshop, to using a lathe to create ornate legs and how to form a perfectly shaped seat. With detailed step-by-step photography and clear construction diagrams to help ensure every piece is exactly the right size, this book is a one-stop resource for aspiring and experienced chair-makers alike.



The Art of Chairmaking includes projects for 5 classic furniture designs, including a 3-legged round stool, square table, simple bench, course armchair and comb back armchair.
