I want a pony!




what I really wanted was a horse
but there just isn't space in the garage


last time I did one of these chairs I clearly recall
how much fun it is trying to do draw knife and spokeshave work with a bench vice


so I borrowed a page from an antique Schwarz magazine


made some shavings


checked for wind


created piles


and made more shavings


this is how you know if you got it right


and there it is
twenty hours from slab to tool


another couple for handles


I'm ready for those chairs!
