Windsor Chairmakers in Lincolnville
Mike and Jana Timchak and their talented craftspeople have been handcrafting heirloom-quality Windsor chairs and fine furniture in their Lincolnville workshop for nearly four decades. Their work is tied deeply to the traditions of New England craftsmanship, where every curve, joint, and finish requires careful consideration. Mike explains, “Just like a great meal, first you see it, then you experience it—furniture has to look good, feel good, and function beautifully.”
From sourcing the finest wood to meticulously shaping each piece, their team ensures every item will stand the test of time for passing down to future generations.
Inspired by the artistry of boatbuilding, the seat fronts of their signature Windsor chair designs mirror the bow of a ship, creating an unmistakable nod to Maine’s maritime heritage. Each piece has a guarantee of quality and durability; the company promises to repair or replace any original-owner piece should it ever fail—though their goal is to “do it right the first time.” The Timchaks take a hands-on approach, personally welcoming customers into their workshop, where many custom commissions begin as sketches and evolve into shop standards. Chairs are just the tip of the iceberg at this landmark Lincolnville shop and showroom, where customers will find tables, beds, desks, chests, stools, and more, all custom-built to the same exacting standards as their chairs.
In an era of mass production, Windsor Chairs remains dedicated to craftsmanship, integrity, and the kind of timeless design that defines true heirloom furniture.
