Almost ready for market. Only two more coats of Tung oil to go.
Every chair begins with three logs. In this case it was one white pine, one ash and one maple. Each log was generously donated by friendly neighbors. Anyone interested in a timeless heirloom chair, please contact me through my website.
I spent the morning on Sunday picking up a maple log from a neighbor. It has perfectly straight grain which is well suited to making chair legs. Straight grain means strong legs. The log was then hand riven ( like splitting kindling) into square billets which I will then turn ( green) on the lathe into chair legs.
large maple round. 19" diameter by 24" long
square billets. Straight grain is so nice to work with.
