Continuous arm Windsor rocker

It was an very interesting week building this chair under Elia Bazarri's guidance. First two days were spent at Roy Underhill's place, splitting a log and making the spindles, making the arm. Then we were at Roy's school in Pittsboro. Very happy with the result. Wife says we need a second one.

Looks like it was a good experience.

Nice job.  Was Roy there?

Thank you.

Roy (and his wife I guess) prepared lunch for us the first day. Their place is gorgeous.

Roy ran the steamer, which took ages to get to temperature, took tons of photos. Helped students who needed assistance.

Quite a few stories were shared by Elia and Roy.

Elia did his early training with Curt Buchanan. I really like him, amazing woodworker, very pleasant personality, easy going.

St Roy is a damn nice guy. Only met him a couple of times, but he's damn sure hard to dislike.

I had no plan as what to do when I moved to NC in January. After having very much enjoyed building a chicken house, woodshed and picnic table back home in Australia I searched for woodworking classes. I found this school in Pittsboro and registered for a first class (tool box, with Roy and Bill Anderson). My wife did some googling and found out who Roy was. I liked it and registered for more. I can only say I have been so lucky to be able to enroll in those classes and build beautiful things with my hands, learn some woodworking techniques that I will use again in the future.
