This is one of six Windsor chairs I built completely out of red oak. I got the plan from Drew Langsner's book The ChairMaker's Workshop. Not a true Windsor in the purest sense because the entire chair is made out of red oak but that's the wood I had lying around at the time so I used it. I built six of them at once for a dining room table set I was making.

mvflaim writes: Hi Billy, making the six chairs at once was by far the biggest project I ever worked on. There were chair parts everywhere in my shop! However, when I made all the same parts at one time, I discovered that they became much faster and easier to make once I knew what I was doing. Posted: 11:05 am on October 23rd
