A toddler-sized Windsor chair is sure to become instant family heirloom. Perfect to pull up to a tea party, or a work table, the stable historic construction of these chairs supports the full weight of an adult. The toddler-sized comb-back Windsor chair features a traditional sack back with a comb. These popular and comfortable chairs feature an oval seat, with arms typically made up of a single, steam-bent piece of wood, and legs with a gentle taper in the foot.
Each chair begins with locally milled green lumber. Every seat is hand-carved from Eastern White Pine. I do all of my turnings by hand on a lathe out of maple or black birch. Every spindle is rived (split) from the log 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. Finally everything is wedged, hand sanded and finished with your choice of colored lacquer or milk paint. Due to the many variations in monitors and browsers, color samples may appear different on different monitors and screens.
