David Wright Workshop (1/5)

On Saturday, April 7th, RWS hosted Windsor chair great, David Wright	The workshop drew approximately 30 attendees	David started with the plan for the day, completely build a chair	His key point was the need for the proper, straight grained wood
David selects locally harvested, freshly cut logs	A few of the tools of the trade	Proper selection and careful processing are critical	David demonstrates controlled splitting with a froh
Once the arm stock is prepared, the design is drawn by hand	The arm is shaped on the horse with a drawknife	Finishing is done with a spokeshave	A couple of David's finished chairs
David's functional, yet low cost, drying oven	Some additional chair making tools	A couple more	The steaming chamber and boiler
