@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?

[amenonsen@flipping.rocks]

@wedge @frew I was wondering about those too. I am curious if they're some kind of folding shaving horse.

[frew@mastodon.social]

@amenonsen @wedge the helix chair with that crazy bend is inexplicably comfortable. I was sure it would not be but it really is.

Those things in the back are bending forms for creating the spindles in the backrest of the chair in progress.

@frew Your workspace looks so incredibly pleasant.

[frew@mastodon.social]

@coreysnipes haha this is not my shop. It’s Peter Galbert’s

[coreysnipes@hachyderm.io]

@frew Ah, I should have checked the top post! Nice that you get to work in it, anyway. Looks like a delightful course and your chair is fantastic.

[frew@mastodon.social]

@coreysnipes no worries!

[wedge@woodworking.group]

@frew

Nice boots.

[palmandneedle@norden.social]

@frew what are those tools on the windowsill? They look like they're made to carve shallow hollows?

[narthur@hachyderm.io]

@frew the action shot gives a lot of useful context! A few questions:

1. Is it comfortable?
2. I’m surprised at the upswept and out-twisted angle of the arms - but how is it to sit in?
3. This chair, like others I’ve seen, seems narrow at the back of the seat. Is it? Does it feel small?
4. Wow, the back is tall! I didn’t realize.

(But don’t let me distract from you feeling proud of yourself - I’ll bet it feels great to sit in such a fine chair, that you made yourself!)

@wedge thanks!
