A bit of history - The Windsor Chair


The Windsor Chair design originated in England, but 18th century American craftsmen took it for their own. They created chairs that were light and graceful, yet rugged and comfortable. That many of those chairs are still in service two centuries later gives testament to the chair's good design and the maker's skill.

    Hey George!
    We met at Moore's Creek last year where I was spinning. I was hoping you could make me a squarish chair that I could use for Elizabethan-19th century reenacting? It doesn't have to be fancy, it just has to pass for several periods. if I could take it apart for transport, that would be GREAT.

    Thanks!

      Betsy...After setting up a website I "rather neglected" this site. Anyway, I could likely devise something for you that would thru several periods. Sorry to be 4 years late on the response!
