A Windsor chair is composed of several kinds of woods. The merit consists not in the kind of wood, but in its shape. The obvious reason for using pine for the seat is that it was very easily worked and neither warped, swelled, or shrunk so much as other woods. The legs and stretchers are usually maple; the bow (or hoop), the top rail, and spindles were hickory, white oak, or ash.
