: During yesterday's visit, the monarch presented a high-back,
: Mendlesham-style, Windsor chair, which had been hand-crafted by
: Saxmundham-based company Finewood.


This gets you to the company, probably something like this one custom
carved.

That's a pretty good example of why Mike Dunbar contends that Windsors
should be painted not stained. Notice how the grain distracts the eye from
the pure form and shape of the chair (which isn't especially lovely for a
Windsor).
For the same reason, girls shouldn't get tattoos.

Another more practical reason is that Dunbar's chairs use at least three
different types of wood: maple turnings, pine seat, red oak arm, bow and
spindles, cherry hand rests (added to the oak arm). Each wood offers
desirable properties for the components.

YMMV,
