Looks fantastic John

Great job on the chair and finish. It sounds like a class worth taking.

Real nice. That was a week you’ll always remember and benefit from. Thanks for sharing.

Very impressive.

Fantastic job on your chair.. I make windsors, shaker rockers, etc. I have never made the back supports on mine (lazy?) . One thing that catches my eye right away is the seat. you sure got a great thin, nicely shaped seat. On the other hand, I have never seen the square bow that you made. Is that your instructors way of making them.? Great FIRST!!!! you oughta be proud

That is a beautiful chair. From looking at it and reading what has to be done I think you could build a small shed with the time and thought that goes into it. I think that is why I shy away from chairs, they just look so difficult. anyway, I know it is comfortable to sit in . I hope you enjoy it for a long time,congrats

Great looking chair John!!!

I will be going to New Hampshire for four days in April to make a Bow Back Windsor with Mike Dunbar at the Windsor Institute. Did you use the Vanhovenometer to drill the holes for the legs on this one? Making these chairs is such a good time I hope you enjoyed your class. It’s hard to beat going to a class and coming home with the chair and the knowledge to keep on building them. What a great feeling of accomplishment.

michelletwo: I think that the shaping we did on the bow is traditional. It is flat on the front with a pair of grooves we put in using scratch-stock, and the back is rounded.

FJDIII: Not only did we use the Vanhovenometer, but Jim gave us each one to keep that he’d made from maple and walnut! We all enjoyed the class a lot.
