About this product
Product Information
Windsor chairs are a beautiful and traditional feature in any home. Some three hundred years of tradition lie behind chairs made today.

It compares and contrasts the distinct Windsor designs from England and America. .Tools, techniques and the selection of materials are extensively covered .Detailed plans and measurements for four chairs (two English, two American) are provided and allow makers on one side of the Atlantic to attempt a chair from the other side .A unique study of a magnificent 18th century armchair brings to life the 260 year old story told by the tool marks and other clues left by the maker .Guidance and techniques explain how to design your own armchair from scratch, taking into account the anthropomorphic nature of these chairs and the messages they can send out AUTHOR: James Mursell has been making Windsor chairs since the mid-1990s.
