Evans, Nancy Goyne. American Windsor Chairs. Hudson Hills Press, 1996.
Dr. Baumann chose this book because:
“When I studied Windsor chair making with Mike Dunbar, he emphasized developing an eye for design and proportion as much as the hand tool skills and techniques of construction. Evan’s book is not only a landmark work on the design on American Windsor chairs, it is also an economic and social history of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century America. It is a valuable reference and inspiration to woodworkers who hope to continue the craft of Windsor chair making.”
