Windsor Chair Making
30 April, 2018, 10 comments
Matt Belfrage shares his obvious skill and enthusiasm for designing and crafting various bespoke Windsor comb back chairs from a range of sustainable timber sources - storm-felled or dying trees. Matt outlines the key tools and techniques he adopts, describing the properties of specific timbers - elm, walnut, sycamore - and talks us through the different processes involved that shape the wood from the initial board through to the finished product - beautiful and functional furniture. All offcuts are also crafted into unique items eg boxes made from burrs. Matt`s respect for the wood and passion for his craft is clear. http://www.mattbelfrage.co.uk/?doing_wp_cron=1499349698.2759079933166503906250
