Books on Chair building

[rcflyer23]

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good books or DVD's on building Chairs. I bought a "Farm" chair a few months ago and I would love to duplicate it well with my own style. Here is what I would like to duplicate.

Check with Walnut Jerry, just down the road from you. You can see his work in last year's and this year's calendar. Pretty sure he can advise you.

For that kind of chair Jerry is the man with the knowledge. There are some pretty good books out there on windsor chair making as well. I'm sure Jerry can recommend a few.

Good Luck,

John

BTW, Chairmaking is addictive!

I wondered if this was considered a Windsor chair. LOML and I really like the chair but really wanted two of them so I bought the one and told her that I could make another one. :rotflm: What was I thinking. I have never made a chair before. Oh well. It will be a learning experience and I am all about learning.

Thanks for the info. I will reach out to Jerry and get his input.

Never having made a chair, and probably at least a year off from trying.. I bought Chairmaking Simplified, and have enjoyed it as a resource, but have not tried to work with it in practice.
