Making my first Windsor Chairs

[Tom Hyde]

Thanks, Tom. FWIW, I am doing this build with a coworker who is relatively new to woodworking and absolutely new to the drawknife and green woodworking. He’s been able to do everything.
This is in fact a great project to learn on.
I encourage you to watch those vids if u are at all considering doing it.

I definitely will, thanks for the lead. Did you go the shaving horse route?

It’s interesting that the Port Townsend School of Woodworking near me starts students in their Foundation course with a three-legged stool project - from raw log, to riving through construction. It makes sense how this fosters an appreciation for the wood itself, grain direction and basic hand tool techniques.
