A child's chair in sycamore.

Nice job. Your grandson should have something to remember for a very long time.

Yes, I agree…This is very nice. What message did you “burn” into the bottom?

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

This is a great chair, Stewart. Sam will have quite a collection of heirlooms tp pass down to his children and grandchildren. You are assured of living in all their lives through these pieces for a long, long time.

Stewart that is a fine looking chair. You are a true craftsman. How do you go about shaping the seat and what angle did you cut the legs bottoms at?

Nice job Stewart! I like the thick turnings, they offer a nice contrast.

Again, thanks for all your comments fellow craftspeople.

Dadoo – I suppose it’s just a permanent ‘Christmas Label’ from us to him along with places and dates. It would be good to think it’ll be the basis of stories from Sam to his grandchildren!

Cajunpen – I’ve puzzled how to describe the compound angles in words. Here’s a picture of the template I’ve used for three child-sized chairs up to now. I’m afraid I can’t locate the source of the template.

Ooops thats’ turned out a bit big! Nearly life size. There’s also now a picture (above) of the seat being shaped with the travisher.

biff_kpv – Yes, I deliberately aimed for chunky turnings; I found that attempting a true scale-down from an adult chair looks too spindly.
