Custom hand-made chairs and Windsor chairs

Strong, beautiful chairs
that will last a lifetime

A Windsor is different from conventional chairs in the following ways:
  • High Quality, Long Lasting

    The arms, backs, and rear spindles are hand riven from a large log before being dimensioned and shaped by hand, endowing them with both delicacy and strength.

  • Custom Comfort

    The seat is hand-hewn into an extremely comfortable saddle or dish shape, cradling the user. The height of the legs can be adjusted to meet your individual needs.

  • Traditionally Bulit

    The legs join the seat using tapered joinery, meaning that the joints are tightened with use, not loosened.

Choose Your Finish
Basic Finish

Basic

A single solid colour finish consisting of two coats of milk paint sealed with either an oil or, for light colours, water borne varnish (to avoid yellowing). Over time, the topcoat will wear naturally, revealing the base coat when you’ve chosen a second colour.

Distressed

Distressed

One colour of milk paint over the underlying stain, then distressed to reveal the underlying colour.

Two Coloured Rug

Two-colour rubbed

Three coats of milk paint, two coats of a second colour wash, and then this is rubbed down, allowing the undercoat to peek through, then sealed and waxed. This imparts a luxurious finish.
