Class in Windsor Chair Building

A student is bending the arm of her Windsor chair.  The steamed wood bends rather easily.  It is being placed into a form to dry.  After a few hours it will be removed, and tied with word to further dry before the final shaping is undertaken.  The metal backstrap helps prevent the the wood fibers from separating.
