Chestnut Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Awesome! I want to make one of these real bad. I didn't quite get 3" of snow but it was enough to paint the yard white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same issue here in MN got 3" snow before I could do final leaf clean up but it melted and dried up enough I could do one last leaf pickup..but I have to admit it was a bit nippy at 31 degrees lol. So are you plugs made of wenge as well? I really like that combination! Yes the plugs are wenge as well, the transition blocks will also have 1 strip of wenge. It should really pop when I get the finish on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I know that feeling. Ice storms are scary .Waking up and hearing branches snapping your mind goes "when is one going to hit the house" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cheeset202 Posted November 14, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Finished up the rockers this past weekend, sculpted them pretty much following Marc's instructions, fitted the legs to the transition blocks, drilled dowel holes and glued up. Sculpted the transitions to the legs and I am now finished the "building" part of the rocker. I have ordered the 2 part Maloof finish and after final sanding and touching up some of the shaping I will be working on the finish. I ordered my wood from Bell Forest Products today for my next project - Roubo Bench. Should have built it before the rocker as it would have made it easier! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cheeset202 Posted November 20, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Started the finishing process today, using the Maloof poly oil, then the poly wax. Pretty easy process to apply. I did notice I will need to sand a couple of spots where scratches became apparent after the oil was applied. Apologize for the poor lighting, had to move the chair into my pool room as my shop is too cold for the oil to dry properly. I will take better pics after I complete the finishing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
