Yew & Burr Elm Comb-Back Windsor Rocking Chair. 

The arms, comb, spindles, legs and rockers are in Yew.

The seat is hand carved from a solid 2 inch thick piece of Burr Elm, shaped for comfort, with a decorative scribed line round the edge of the seat; it also has a small front pommel.

Both arms are also hand carved and shaped, with turned arm supports and three short

elliptical arm spindles.

The hand carved back posts supporting the arms and comb have a decorative ball and fine ring at the top, the ten elliptical spindles making up the back of the chair are steam bent to give lower back support.

The carved comb at the top of the chair is steam bent, giving a comfortable curve.   

The four legs have a pattern of an inverted cup, small concave and single ring, also a single ring at the lower end of the leg, the two supporting cross stretchers having convex and one fine centre ring. All patterned turned parts are made on a Bobbin-Bow Lathe.

The two steam bent rockers give this Comb Back Rocking Chair its lovely slow rock.

Two coats of finishing oil and two applications of high quality wax polish achieve the very deep lustre finish. 

Every chair comes with a photographic album of how a Windsor chair is made.
