I finished this Irish/Welsh inspired chair last week and gave it 3 coats of paint: blue, orange and blue. I have one more chair like this planned, I think I will add stretchers to the next one. I tried to make this chair in one day (over the course of several weeks) and it took about 8 or 9 hours in total.
I made my three legged chair (the first chair I ever made) into a five legged chair. I also carved the Fender Rhodes logo in its back rest, as it is the chair that goes with our 1976 Fender Rhodes piano.
I had fun making a "Midline Monument" chip carving today, per the inspiration of @saturdayboxco . Basically you draw one or more vertical lines on your piece of wood and make a tower freehand, where both sides have to be symmetrical. It's harder than it seems! But lots of fun.
I roughed out two arms for my next chair today. Axe and a little draw knife work. Next I will refine them with rasps and spokeshaves and then they will be fitted on the chair.
I use an old German scrub plane to flatten boards and it can make me feel like a beaver. It is so light that you can remove a lot of material without too much effort. The video is in real time, my arms were really moving that fast. Sure I tried to show off a little just for the video. But you get the idea.
After carving the cover for the stick chair book by @lostartpress, i had a nice piece of linden from the same board left over. So i decided to carve a relief of a Welsh three legged lowback (Cwm Tydu). I have roughed out the general shape of the chair. Next I will trim the sticks and carve them further in the background. After the carving gets more refined, the biggest challenge (and in my opinion the most fun part) will be emphasizing the illusion of depth by undercutting in the right places to create deep shadows.
