The "Tavern Sack Back" is one of the
most popular and useful of all Windsors. The bow
is steamed and bent into an arc shape. The delicate
arm is also bent. The spindles and legs are wedged
and joined in a way that prevents them from coming
apart. Price: $625 |

The "Captain Daggett" is a large and
very comfortable design that was also known as
the "Easy Chair." The seat is 24 x 17½" and
the chair stands 45" high. The sweeping crest
with carved ears and the elaborate carved knuckles
on the arms make this one of the grandest of all
American chairs. It is modeled on a chair that
was made in Nantucket about 1790.
Price: $875

 The
"Edgartown", a Windsor Rocker
Elegant rocking chair has all the classic features
of a Windsor Chair, but allows you to rock and
loll. Note the hand carved rosettes on the crest.
The arm, bow, and crest are made by splitting
red oak logs, shaping the parts with a draw knife
and spoke shave, and then steaming and bending
them to get their final form.

The "Trestle Table" was one of the first
tables made in the colonies. Early examples had
a slab of wood for the top and simple feet. As
tools became more available and craftsmen more
skillful, the tables took on more elegant designs
and style. My table has lines very similar and
complimentary to the Windsor Chair. One very handy
feature of the Trestle Table is that they can
quickly be dismantled for easy transport and equally
easy to put back together again.

The
"Porringer Hall Table" is a reproduction
of a Queen Anne period table from about 1750.
The name undoubtedly comes from its round corners,
which resemble a British cereal bowl - called
a "porringer". There were also card
tables with similar corners where card players
kept their chips or placed a candle.
Price: $525

The "Colonial Foot or Harp Stool" is
finished in milk paint and antiqued, and is a
reproduction of a very popular and functional
piece of furniture. It is 18" long and stands
about 13" high. It would have been used to
rest your feet, as a stand for a harp, seating
for children, seating for cow milking, or whatever
reason a person could imagine. The same is true
today!.
Price: $125
