Class Description
The Windsor stool originated in England in the early 18th century. It is characterized by its turned legs, spindles, and seat. Windsor stools were originally made from local hardwoods, such as ash, maple, and oak. Often used as work stools, they are stylish, comfortable and durable.
In this class, you will learn the fundamentals of Windsor style furniture making through its simplest form, the Windsor stool. Discussion topics will include splitting, handling, and storing green wood along with drying techniques and technologies. The hands-on portion will focus on stool design, shaving and shaping parts, joinery, assembly and finishing. By the end of the day, you will have your own handmade stool to take home, as well as the knowledge and skills to continue exploring Windsor furniture building in your own shop or makerspace.
Building a Windsor stool is a great way to learn about traditional woodworking techniques. It is also a satisfying project that will give you a sense of accomplishment. If you are interested in learning how to build furniture, a Windsor stool is a great place to start!
For your safety, when attending a hands-on class, be sure to wear closed toe footwear.
