Mike & Jana Timchak, Owners

Windsor Chairmakers opened to the public in April 1988. Mike Timchak started as a chairmaker, helping to set up shop with Jim Brown, the company’s founder, who purchased the property Windsor Chairmakers sits on in 1987. Mike worked in all aspects of production, from chairs to tables, case pieces, and beds. He managed the shop for years, trained many crew members, and took over much of the furniture design. In 1992, Jana Salesman came to work at Windsor Chairmakers, hired as the furniture finisher. Jana and Mike got engaged not long after. In 2019, the two assumed Windsor Chairmakers’ ownership and made it their own. Jana’s art background and degrees in fine arts helped to establish the look of the showroom, both in her design abilities and in her artwork featured throughout. Mike continues to design new and custom pieces, train new crew members, and run the shop. Mike and Jana have two boys, Ethan and Wyatt, and they live in Lincolnville.
