Originally called a flat-stick, the arrow-back or slat-back Windsor features flat carved spindles versus the traditional drawn round. The back posts and flat spindles are bent for extra comfort. Our features a step-down crest rail, which became popular in New England in the early 19th century, adding a change to the typical flat rail design. It is finished with bamboo style leg turnings and a curved stretcher.

As with all of our Windsors, each chair begins with locally milled green lumber. Every seat is hand-carved from Eastern White Pine. We do all of our turnings by hand on a lathe out of maple or black birch. Every spindle is rived and shaved on a shave horse to ensure the grain is left unbroken from end to end. This traditional process is repeated on the chair's back before steaming and bending. The legs are set using a traditional tapered lock joint which increases the chair's stability.
