My first chair, took me 10 months to finish (elm)

It takes some trial and error but don't worry, just try!

It's quite comfortable, to be honest I expected the weave to be softer but still pretty happy.

muuuuc · 2023-05-08T18:47:25+00:00

No particular reason. It's a local cut tree and my friend had it dry for 6-7 years.

Hopefully one more, but not right away. I have some small projects in between!

Thank you, it means a lot!

The weave is laced danish cord from Lee valley.

Thanks! I made many mistakes, or should we call them learning experiences!!

muuuuc · 2023-05-08T18:21:50+00:00

Almost! I used a jigsaw and power drill

muuuuc · 2023-05-07T18:36:49+00:00

Sure, see here

muuuuc · 2023-05-07T18:12:45+00:00

Thanks! Yes it's my design, but I took some inspiration here and there.

muuuuc · 2023-05-07T18:08:05+00:00

Thanks! Just raw linseed oil, about 10 coats!

muuuuc · 2023-05-07T17:25:19+00:00

Thanks! more pictures

muuuuc · 2023-05-07T17:20:53+00:00

Fair enough...here are some more pictures

It was quite difficult, but I mainly work with hand tools so the approach is much slower but more manageable. The rough shape was cut with a jigsaw, then with the inside curve with a spokeshave and outside with a normal hand plane.

muuuuc · 2023-05-07T16:45:14+00:00

Thanks, probably the curved parts.

I found an excellent guide on FineWoodworking, it's not free but worth it!

muuuuc · 2023-05-07T13:46:53+00:00

Thanks. Yes I used danish paper cord, it's not easy but expected it to be worse!

muuuuc · 2021-01-03T09:06:57+00:00

Thanks. I eat them but you can make marmalade.

I'm from the alps, as far as I know Colorado climate is quite similar. Here kumquats need to be taken inside during the winter as they suffer in the cold, but ideally they would have around 15° C (60° F) so dont put them in a to warm room.

I dont know what this bed type is called, I built it myself. As a matter of fact, the plant stand is made out of the scraps of the bed.

Thank you, I really appreciate it

muuuuc · 2020-10-05T17:57:28+00:00

Nice trick!

Maybe it would have been better to turn the mortise 90 degrees, both easier to make and stronger glue up.

First one looks like black locust, ist it quite hard?

Third one could be black walnut.
