Curved Continuous Arm Windsor Settee

Congrats on the awards. It is a great looking chair, crisp turnings. I really like the turning pattern’s baluster look with the deep ring. Thanks for sharing.

Don W asked “what do you not know?” this is my answer. Absolutly awsome and really cool besides. Congrats, honestly envious of your skill

Thanks Fellas, I really enjoyed making this piece. I wish I got more work in this style.

By the way the turning pattern is very close to what my buddy Peter Galbert does. He has a pattern on his Blog at www.chairnotes.blogspot.com. Just search “baluster” in the blogger search bar of his page and it will come up. You can print it out.

Truly a work of art, and how fortunate we are, to be able to see this marvellous piece.

Very impressive work

Someday I’m going to make me one or two of these…
Very nice!

Beautiful, a real classic

Though this is an original design by me the heart of this design comes from the work of Curtis Buchanan, and Peter Galbert makes a similar piece, though not curved. I have worked with and continue to do some work with them and appreciate their influence on me with regard to windsor chairs. There is no one better to learn from or work with than these two guys when it comes to windsors. I recommend taking a course with them if anyone gets a chance to.

If any one wants to make a settee like this I will be putting the plans together eventually in a PDF file for download.

I have seen steam bending of tradional round back Windsor chairs but I have never seen the 2 dimensional bend making up the arms. I would think the form takes longer to make than the actual bending process. They say chair making is the epitomy of woodworking skills. I think you’ve mastered it Peter is a great teacher
