Custom Hand-Built American Hardwood Dining Chairs

Custom Classic Colonial Bow-Back Windsor Chair

"I received the customized chair today. It's beautiful! The craftsmanship is precise. Overall the chair is sculptured and symmetrical. The turning, shaping, and edge details are just right - hand made or just as good. The color is a great match to my walnut table and the finish is nice. My wife and I have tried the fit of the chair and it is very good as a dining chair for us, 5'2" and 5'5" tall. It's hard to get a chair that fits short people and much harder to get a dining chair with the back support provided by the curved spindles on this chair. Thank you and the others for doing a wonderful job...
...I am completely satisfied."

Compared to the original antique dining chair, use of modern glues and finishes enhances the quality of a 'Classic' dining chair. Additionally, selected components may deploy a minor increase in wood thickness in order to address a known weak point in the original chair design.
