My Chairs have a heritage. They are contemporary designs in the Windsor tradition, which dates to the 1600s. Beginning in 1982, I made chairs that combined what I felt were the most beautiful of the many Windsor elements. After becoming adept at refining the traditional elements, I began to streamline and add new elements. The chairs that I make now are of my own design. Additions to the tradition.
The chairs still begin with a log, which I split with sledge and wedge, froe and club. Drawknife and spokeshave ready the white oak for steam bending. Two-inch thick seats of cherry, walnut, and other hardwoods are adzed deeply for comfort. Legs and stretchers are first band-sawed, then carved. Chairs are made one at a time.
