From Tree to Chair, Another Windsor Chair Course in Progress!

We started Monday morning with a log and 7 students, each making a Windsor Chair! This week has been packed with the opportunity to learn many different skills, from riving wood from the log to steam bending, working with the drawknife then off to turning on the lathe. Today was spent learning how to use tools such as the scorp and travisher, while they all carefully carved out their chair seats.

Here is a mountain of shavings after a day’s worth of work!
