Cherry deacons bench build completed
#31
Glued up the bent laminations for the leg supports. Haven’t done this before so took sometime to figure out the thickness of each lamination. Ended up cutting each lamination 3/32” which worked great. Used hide glue for the increased open time and ridgid glue line so hopefully I won’t get any springback.

First coat of finish applied. I had some scap wood so i drilled holes for the spindles so they were easier to finish. I put plugs in all the spindle holes in the seat so finish wouldn’t get in them. A few more coats of finishand it will be ready to be assembled.

One coat of 2# cut of blonde shellac then 3 coats of Waterlox. I’ve put the shellac and one coat of Waterlox so far. The only reason for shellac is because shellac dries fast so i can put the first coat of Waterlox on the same day.

Took the brace out of the form and cut it into 3. Cleaned them up with a block plane. They are now ready to be fitted to each leg.

Leg braces installed. I used walnut plugs but i don’t think i like them so next time I’ll plug with the same wood as the braces. Need to rub out the seat and glue up the spindles and back rail and i think this baby will be done.
