I should have been posting here but forgot.

@frew @alh uneducated guess: a few sharp irons and a lot of grit

[palmandneedle@norden.social]

@frew looking good! Are you gonna paint it when it's done?

[frew@mastodon.social]

@PalmAndNeedle not sure, haven’t decided yet!

[palmandneedle@norden.social]

@frew I vote for a nice, deep green

Day 4 #woodworking

[narthur@hachyderm.io]

@frew that’s quite the jig!

[frew@mastodon.social]

@narthur yes honestly I’d rather skip it but it was right there and made everything faster and easier so…

[bikesandbbq@mastodon.social]

@frew I love a high-backed chair.

[frew@mastodon.social]

@BikesAndBBQ this will be the highest back chair I’ve made. Cat really *doesn’t* like them so it’s a struggle

[frew@mastodon.social]

Day 5. Most parts go back in the kiln so they will be dry before they go into their mortises, and swell as they come up to typical humidity, locking them in place. Note also the requisite blood sacrifice has been made. #woodworking

[frew@mastodon.social]

I have lost track of days. Maybe day 6? #woodworking

[12thrits@mstdn.social]

@frew Looking beautiful!

[frew@mastodon.social]

@12thRITS thanks! It’ll be even better

[palmandneedle@norden.social]

@frew as happens on any good voyage

[federicomena@mstdn.mx]

@frew what a nice chair!!!

[12thrits@mstdn.social]

@frew What species?

[frew@mastodon.social]

@12thRITS seat is Easter white pine, spindles red oak, the rest you see is ash. Unsure what the rockers will be till Sunday

[frew@mastodon.social]

@federicomena thank you!

[frew@mastodon.social]

@PalmAndNeedle correct

[wedge@woodworking.group]

@frew

Looking good.

That chair behind to the right, however, with the wraparound twisted armrests, looks uncomfortable if you leaned left or right. Maybe it’s just the photo.

What are all those curious pieces leaning up against the yellow cabinet in the back?
