Methinks windsor chair arms are steamed, not laminated.

Steaming is traditional, but Windsor chairs traditionally do not have arms like the one shown in the photo.

I suppose the compound curves in their example were achieved by lamination.

From what I recall, there are many types of Windsor chair arms - the continuous arm shown in the IYRS blog photo - like this one:

And on, and on, and on... Lots of variety in design, really.

I always thought of "Windsor chair" as being the bow-back variety and variations thereof.

I learned something new today. Thanks!

There's always something new to learn. Isn't it wonderful? :)

Tuition funds are thick on the ground! States are dying to give it away, so don't let that be the reason not to pursue new directions.
