Started the spindles on the lathe then finished them with a spokeshave. I only turn when needed for furniture so I am not very good so that is why I had to finish with a spokeshave. I drilled a 5/8” hole in a piece of wood and then put the spindle in it and used it like a shave horse. Worked well. I dry fit it together tonight. It may be a little while before i can glue up and finish it because my wife came home with 18 chickens and so I’ll be building a chicken coop first. Happy wife happy life

Glued up the legs and then finished sanded everything. Ready to put on a finish then will finish assembling the back spindles and back rail as it will be easier to put on the finish before final assembly. But first i need to make the leg supports. I will post pictures of that process when i have them done.

That piece of cherry for the seat is really nice and the contrasting woods are fantastic.

Thank you for sharing.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.
