Jeff Trapp crafts each of his Windsor chairs by hand himself
in his Madison, Wisconsin shop from trees he harvests in northern
Wisconsin. He describes his construction process on his website and
explains that he became interested in these chairs when studying
wooden boat building in Maine. His site also features beautiful
wooden canoes and boats he handcrafts himself as well.
As Jeff Trapp explains on this site, Windsor chairs offer many
features that contribute to their longevity as well as to their
beauty and comfort. Thick seats, riven wood, wedged and tapered
socket joints and undercarriages built in compression all assure
that a new Windsor constructed by Trapp will become an heirloom in
your family few generations to come. The website also explains that
the Old Fashioned Milk Paint Company finishes he uses in combination
with a rubbed oil topcoat help the chairs develop a beautiful patina
in a very short time, giving the chairs an historical quality.
The site resents many interesting testimonials from satisfied
customers as well as describes the classes you can take to learn
from Jeff Trapp how to create your own Windsor chair. You can email
any questions or suggestions to Jeff Trapp or call him at the number
conveniently provided on this website.
