Turned a couple of cherry 🍒 bowls. 12"ruler for scale.

Making a 6° tapered reamer and matched tenon cutter. Still a little fettling to do on the reamer, and I need to harden and sharpen the blade on the tenon cutter.

Try them as is first. Then if needed get cushions. Need to give them a month for the paint to cure first though.

While waiting on my chairs , I made a large box, or small chest. Out of the left over elm from the chairs. The lid does double duty as a small table/bench.

It's been a while, three weeks to let the raw linseed oil to cure. But today we painted the chairs with a linseed oil paint. The recipe for the paint as well as the red ochre, are from #earthpigments.com . I am chuffed with how they came out

Dining room.

My first chair(s) too.

It's the beginning of the end, or should I say the start of the finish. Before and after an application of linseed oil.

Yes it has no vice. It is also relatively low, great for handplanes.
