Took about 8 days, but it was worth it. everything North of the seat is Red Oak. The seat itself is White Pine, with all the turnings being comprised of Hard Maple. Any comments or criticisms are welcomed and appreciated!

Great work on the Windsor chair. Chairs have always kept me at arms length
with their complicated joinery (yours is a good example).

Was the rail/arm steamed prior to bending or did you do it cold?

An impressive Windsor chair. Like Tom, I’m impressed by chair makers.

As others have said, I’m totally impressed with anyone who can make a chair like this.

Very nice!

Traditional green wood stretchers, back spindles, continuous arm, bow or did you work with dry wood throughout?

This is beautiful. I just signed up for a 3 day class at my local Woodcraft on making a Windsor Chair. I am pretty excited. I hope mine comes out an eigth as good as yours. I’ll probably have some questions when the time comes. Nice Work!

Criticism?...uh, .....

.....it needs a cup holder! ??

Maybe some Ninja Turtle inlays? Other than that, it’s PERFECT!
