Eastern White Pine Windsor Chair Seat Blanks
19.5-21" square 2" thick
DRYING
Our White Pine seat blanks have been dried in a dehumidification kiln on a slow cycle with the temperature never going above 100 degrees. This ensures both the lignin and pitch do not set and the blank remains easy to carve.
GRADES
Prime: Our Prime seat blanks are visually inspected for cracks and 100% knot free.
#2 Grade: Our #2 grade blanks are visually inspected for cracks and may have knots up too 7/8" on one face or multiple small knots (1/8-3/8") on both faces.
2-3 Piece: Our multi piece seats are 2-3 piece of prime clear material ready to edge joint and glue. Grain orientation will vary and the piece do not always come from the same board.
MOISTURE
All blanks are dried to a moisture range of 8-15% at a low temp of 100 degrees or less to ensure optimal carving. Each blank has been end sealed to maintain equilibrium and prevent checking
