my next miniature chair

 Last week I started on my next miniature chair, which is to be the sack-back, or double bow, Windsor.  I have six books, plus a web download, of sack-back working drawings, some with just the scaled drawings and some with text that describes to a greater or lesser extent the process of making full size chairs using traditional tools and methods.
Which should I use?

Spreading out the seven variations I see that they are all very similar except that each of the authors, all of whom are/were themselves chair makers, made their chairs based on models from different times and places in the USA.  One difference stood out, however : some of the chairs had baluster turnings  (the leftmost of the two shapes), and some had later, 1780s, bamboo style turnings (the other one), which is what I went for.  I decided to use Mike Dunbar's book Make a Windsor Chair.  Mike, who I only know through his writing, is a long time teacher and maker of Windsor chairs
