The bodgers made legs and spindles for backs of Windsor Chairs for which High Wycombe became a famous centre - the chairs mostly being marketed through Windsor.

The local bodgers worked in Hampden Woods, after the Parish Woodlands in Loosley Row, Lacey Green and Speen had been felled. A very few small pockets of trees still survived but they were privately owned.
