I have chosen Ash for the legs and Cherry for the seat and spindles. |
|
|
The legs are ripped on the bandsaw to 1 3/4 square and 32 inches long. The seat blank is made from two pieces of cherry, 12 inches long by 7 inches. |
|
|
We need to glue the two pieces of cherry to make a seat blank. Plane one face flat... |
|
|
and then shoot the edges square. |
|
|
Test for fit-a nice tight joint. |
|
|
Glue up the blank. |
|
|
Mount a leg blank on the lathe and rough out to a cylinder. |
|
|
Taper the leg to a pleasing taper then measure the leg at intervals so you can duplicate the shape on the other legs. |
|
|
Draw out the outline of the seat... |
|
|
Clamp up the seat and.. |
|
|
carve away! |
|
|
|
|
|
Seat carved. Next the mortises for the legs. |
