Learned Windsor Chair Making
Spent a week with George Sawyer north of Montpelier VT learning to make a Windsor Chair. It's an amazingly intricate process that involves way more steps than I was able to capture in my notebook. By using hand tools and green wood the resulting chair is so much lighter and more delicate than a mass produced copy. I haven't gotten a chance to make a second chair yet but I've used the skills I developed to make a number of step / milking stools as gifts.
