Millin' and Chillin'



I am in the process of building 10 chairs and have milled about 200 ft of white oak for starters. Next step will be to glue up the wide panels needed for the arms and legs. At this point I start spreading the work out, so there's always something different to work on. That way I remove the "factory work" aspect and it makes the whole process much nicer. A happy woodworker is a productive woodworker. I have some chair parts ready for final sanding. My sanding area is unheated. That's where the "chillin" comes in. I like the lemon-lime color of this Weekender chair. Makes me think of a tall cool beverage on a hot summer day.
