Windsor Chairs: Low Bow or Yeoman's Bow and other classic English styles
Traditional English style Windsor chairs with pierced back splat and crinoline stretcher. I have seen these called "Low Bow" or "Yeoman's Bow" chairs.
Another very comfortable style, just like Granny used to have in front of the fire. This example made of Ash, with an Elm seat, with a stain, shellac (french polish) and hot wax antiqued finish.
I can't make these in Oak because the arm bend is too extreme.
There are many styles of dining chair I can make to complement this design. Please see further down this page for some examples.
English style high back carver with pierced splat, curved arm supports and crinoline stretcher. This one is probably many people's idea of a classic English Windsor Chair.
The seat is deeper than the Yeoman's Bow above. This chair is made from Ash with an Elm seat, although an Ash seat would be fine too. It is finished with antiqued stain, shellac and wax.
Another style of high back carver with pierced splat, turned arm supports and crinoline stretcher. This one has a similar shaped seat to the Yeoman's bow shown at the top of the page. Two of these and four or six Low Back carvers makes a stunning dining set!
This chair is made from Ash with an Ash seat. It is finished with light Oak stain, and wax.
Price is the same as the high back carver above. Price list
English style dining chair with simple bow and crinoline stretcher.
These can be made with turnings to match the carver shown above (or vice versa I suppose). This one is made of Ash, with a shellac finish. The seat size is 16 inches.
English style dining chair with bow, backsplat, and crinoline stretcher.
The chair is made of Ash wood with an Ash seat. The finish is stain, shellac and wax. The boss in the middle of the splat can be customised to your own requirements, as this one was.
