My first stick chair has a friend now. Shameless in its nakedness but quite comfortable. #woodworking #chairmaking

There is nothing in the world like a frantic glue up.

today's chairmaking soundtrack: hermanos gutiérrez and @cosmicchambo.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/cosm...

Yeah! The bend on that back piece was wild!! I’d also never done that until the class! Chairmaking is fun a green wood is amazing!

Building colour on a Moonah chair (designed by Ben Grieves-Johnson @other_furniture) built last week in a chairmaking class run by Ben.
Couple of coats of liquid nightmare, with a van dyke crystal water stain wash. It’ll get a light black aniline water wash and then a few coats of garnett shellac.

i can’t even begin to tell you how in my element i felt. I’m falling in line with chairmaking and getting to be pretty damn good at it.

I live in High Wycombe. Generally people want to forget that they live here, but it’s worth a shot. We are a small community library, but I’m sure we could find space for a few books about the town. Chairmaking, Bomber command, the Mosquito, etc.

Dry fitting all the legs. Angles are pretty close to what I figured for.

The seat bowl is almost there. I didn't realize the travisher could get so hot. Maybe I'm just going out at like a madman.

Drilled a hole to the depth I want for the "niche derrière". Now rough carve it down with the scorp.

If I can throw one more log on this fire, what refined chairmaking and many other examples in this thread are, is craft. Craft is undervalued. Craft doesn’t need to be art to be aesthetic or valuable.

Hey y’all! I made this upholstered chair from scratch. You can check out the making videos over on my YouTube channel. #woodworking #furnituremaking #upholstry #diy #sewing #textiles #Woodwork #chairmaking
