The Chair - Towards the Round

[Derek Cohen (Perth Oz)]

It's been about 4 months since I last worked on The Chair. Life happens. All good - just very busy.

So I was back in the shop this weekend, and here is a record of the work done. Lots of pictures and just enough description so you don't fall asleep

I like that a lot but rather you than me.

In fact it would have to be you as I know I couldn't do this.

When it comes time to glue the parts together I thought that I would use West Systems epoxy (because it is gap filling) and mix in a little colour to disguise any gaps that may be present in the finger join. I have saved up sawdust from sanding the legs, however I think that this will turn out darker than the surrounding wood. Any thoughts and suggestions?

Hi Derek

Once you get the finish on it should hardly show, probably best to do a test joint with some finish applied to be sure.
What finish are you going to use?

Excellent to see this work and the progress. I shall follow this with interest knowing it's going to be very good work, but also because I've been planning a chair with no straight lines anywhere and I need a few tricks!

In my experience West with sawdust is considerably darker than the original wood. You should get a better match using their 207 clear hardener but as Pete said do some testing first.
