Well, after a bit of a hiatus, I’m back working at the Sculpted Rocking Chair. In my most recent post I continued with processing of the rear legs. This involved making a 20-degree jig for use at the band saw, shaping the areas at the seat joints and also drilling for the headrest. Take a look and let me know your thoughts. Thanks for reading!
Given Sam Maloof’s passing, I thought I would post the link to a web site that shows Sam in action (there are other woodworking videos as well). His videos are in the Video Library under A Woodworking Experience. http://www.woodworkingchannel.com/dolphin/vidego_video_library.php
Just posted a tribute to Sam Maloof on my blog about meeting him in Seattle in 1982. http://woodjoint.blogspot.com/
