These classic, elegant chairs have endured for more than four centuries.
Lightweight and sturdy, Windsors are as beautiful as they are comfortable.
I was hooked.

I learned to make my first Windsor under the
patient guidance of renowned master chairmaker Mike Dunbar at The Windsor Institute in New Hampshire. Every year, I go back to the Institute for more classes, to learn how to make more Windsor styles -- sack backs, high backs, fan backs, rockers, children's chairs, and others.

I build two Windsors a week in my shop
overlooking the Texas Hill Country outside of San Antonio. I spend roughly 25 hours handcrafting each chair -- splitting wood, shaping the seat, shaving spindles, drilling holes, applying milk paint, waxing and polishing. When I finish a Windsor and send it off to its new owner, it feels like I'm letting go of an old friend. But that's actually the best part.

It's not uncommon to find Windsor chairs that are 250-years old and still as attractive and sturdy as the day they were built. So when I ship one of my Windsors to you, I know that chair will not only outlive me -- I know that you and your family will enjoy it for generations to come.

And that, my friend, is why I became a master Windsor chairmaker.
