jpf1182 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Marc, I would like to join the guild for the rocking chair build but do not have a lathe. Is it essential for the project? Thanks, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 The front legs are turned but I suppose they don't have to be. You can use a spokeshave and rasps to try to get it as round as possible. The lathe just speeds things up and ensures you end up with a true cylinder. So I'm going to say it's not absolutely essential, but know that you'll have a bit more work ahead of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
