Windsor chairs, where the legs are mortised into the seat and do not form the backrest, are known for the striking elegance of their shape. 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 shape a perfectly formed seat.

With detailed step-by-step photographs and clear construction diagrams to help ensure every piece is exactly the right size, this book is a comprehensive resource for both aspiring and experienced chair makers.

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