I hope you find time to finish it soon; I know how life gets in the way of projects some time. Good luck.

-- ...it's rennovation time!!!

I’ve really enjoyed your blog and appreciate the time you’ve taken to share your experience with us. Mark is right, life seems to get in the way of finishing course-made projects once you get home. Let us see how you make out.

Mott,

This has been a wonderful post to follow along with your adventure in the making of this rocking chair. I will be awaiting more posts with the process of your finishing when you arrive home. As I stated in an earlier comment, I am going to try and take a class with Bill in the near future. Thank you for posting this blog.

Max, Thanks for your kind remarks. I highly recommend classes with Bill. He is a great guy and really known what he is doing and more importantly, how to teach it. I know that he offers 4 days group seminars or you can save up for a one on one like I took. The class took my skills to whole new level.

Great stuff, chairs are fun.
How did you like working with mesquite?
How long till you think you will finish ??

Thanks for posting

Mesquite is really hard stuff and very dusty. THe grain is short so it can be brittle. It really shapes nicely with the proper grinder.

Since I am renovating my shop, I most likely wont have time to finish the chair until early in 2009.

Just checkin’ up on your chair progress… The grain in your back legs looks really unique and should stand-out nicely when finished.

work is coming slowly. I have had to travel for work and I am renovating my shop. I hope to have time to work on it over the holidays. When I have more done, I will post more. thanks
