Windsor Chair Making at Warren Wilson College

[Herebrooks]

Hi: I am a member of North Carolina Woodworker(Herebrooks) and would like to post about an up coming Windsor Chairmaking Class with Elia Bizzarri. The class will take place from July 14th until the 20th. The class will build the venerable Comb Back Windsor in 7 days. We've made a few change to the class since Dave Sawyer had been listed as one of the instructors. He has requested to back out of the class for heath reasons(he's in his 80's) but we are continuing to offer the class with renown chair maker Elia Bizzarri. We've also lowered the price to 825.00 plus materials(140.00). There are a couple of spaces left that we'd like to fill. The maximum is 10. Please check out the link:

For more information, you can call me: Bill Palmer at 828-301-1158

I moved this to a more appropriate forum.

If you don't mind I'd like to post it in a couple other places.

Yes, that would be great. Thanks Mike

Any possibility of making a rocking chair variation in this class? I really need to learn how to and to make a rocking chair as a gift.

Hey Ken: The chair from the legs up is exactly the same as the rocker. Since Elia will be doing the turnings, I don't see why not. He can simply turn the rocker legs given some lead time. I'll write him a note to check.

Bill - the class sounds awesome. Not 'in the budget' for me this year, but I didn't want you to think the few replies in this thread meant no-one else finds it interesting - albeit from a distance.

Cheers,

Bill do you know if the Greenville Woodworking Guild is aware of this class?

It might be some good advertising for the class...
