This is one of six Windsor chairs I built completely out of red oak. I got the plan from Drew Langsner's book The ChairMaker's Workshop. Not a true Windsor in the purest sense because the entire chair is made out of red oak but that's the wood I had lying around at the time so I used it. I built six of them at once for a dining room table set I was making.
