There that's a goodah!


Ah now for the fun part, turn off the machines and the dust system, grab the spoke shave and the compass plane, ignore the phone and hand carve a stool seat, thats nice. Soft maple even with heavy curl just responds so well to a sharp plane. I get to add my deliberate curves now, bringing the sides forward to widen the front, taper the ends, curve the butt, break the edges so the through tenons wont bust 'em, bench work is so nice.
