The Art of Chairmaking

A Guide to Making Beautiful Chairs

Jason Mosseri

Description

The Art of Chairmaking is the definitive guide to making Windsor chairs, with essential information on tools, materials and techniques.

Windsor chairs, where the legs are mortised into the seat and don’t form the backrest, are known for the striking elegance and comfort. This book is the perfect introduction to the art of making these distinctive chairs, clearly explaining every step, from selecting the right wood and setting up a workshop, to using a lathe to create ornate legs and how to form a perfectly shaped seat. With detailed step-by-step photography and clear construction diagrams, this book is a one-stop resource for aspiring and experienced chair-makers alike.

The Art of Chairmaking includes projects for five classic furniture designs, including a three-legged round stool, square table, simple bench, course armchair and comb back armchair.
