It's done... The flaws that I can see and know about seem to go unnoticed by others. My first attempt at a chair, a high chair to be more specific, stands waiting for the finishing. I've been in construction all my life. Trim carpentry is one thing. Wood working is another. This is my first attempt at what I consider to be a fine piece of furniture. Angled mortise and tenon joints pegged with contrasting wood. Tapered legs, carved saddle, curves and angles all coming together as planed. I'm enjoying the sense of accomplishment. All you more experienced think back to that first piece...remember how it felt? Does it still feel that way?
