CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@Jason844 thanks. I’m pretty pleased. There is, as usual, room for improvement, but I’m happy to sit in it

Rocking chair. Made as part of a Peter Galbert workshop in Berwick Maine, so many of the parts I received and shaped, joined, glued, wedged, pinned, finished, etc. Seat is eastern white pine, rockers are hickory, spindles are red oak, and the rest is ash. Glued with glue I made at home. Finished with BLO and soft wax I made at home. #woodworking

@satterle seat is Eastern White Pine. Rockers are hickory. Spindles are red oak. The rest is ash. Finish is BLO and will add soft wax after it cures.

Wrapping up. #woodworking

Triple checking. #woodworking

Stage 2. #woodworking

@xabean @trs this glue was developed with actual flavored gummy bears so you’re not wrong!

@daniel_bohrer @trs yep

@trs hide glue made out of gelatin etc! I can share a recipe if you ever want to make it

Stage 1. Would have liked to do stage 2 tonight but I gotta start winding down #woodworking

TSA didn’t trust my box. I made it into a kiln. #woodworking

@Pyrrhlin haha thanks

@satterle absolutely not. Check as in checked bag. I flew.

@narthur yeah one guy made his shorter for his wife. Another made it easier to get out of for his elderly mom.

@narthur all good questions!

1. It is very comfortable, and we tweaked everything (back spindle location, angle, the rock, the height) to optimize this
2. I think this is the same question as 1 really; it sits great!
3. This is a good question. When I was sitting in the chair it didn’t feel narrow to me, *but*, many of the chairs in his shop were a little narrow for me. This chair is a little wider and has less saddling than some others.

Packaged and ready to check 🫡 #woodworking

@PalmAndNeedle they are travishers for shaping seats. https://cminihanwoodworks.blogspot.com/p/travishers_26.html?m=1
