Today was a day of mostly sanding, sanding and even some more sanding. Not nearly as exciting as yesterday which was sanding and more sanding....... but by the end I was able to apply finish to our newest custom rocking chairs which is always so exciting. I think I forget just how beautiful wood can be. Then I apply the finish, and pop there it is........ the wood shows its true colours always a wonderful thing.
Here is the makings of a bar stool i've been working on, the templates are from Scott Morrison but i've change the details, especially the seat joints where we use a joint that offers double the glue surface, by using 1/2'' bits instead of 1/4''.
Picture is the workhorse of the shop the Festool RO150 best sander ever! That's all i'm going to say.
Here is a close up of the Maloof seat joint, this joint is about as strong as you get, especially after adding 2 4'' screws. Not only is it strong but it's very sleek and stylish especially after we sculp, shape, sand, and buff it to perfect fair lines.
