Simple Chair

This is for you guys worrying about making a chair, with stringers, and what all. What could be simpler then using just one piece of wood, right? Right.



Makes me wish I had room to store a fiew pieces to let 'em dry. Just down the road a few days back someone had some large pines taken down, and the wood apparently hauled off to the trash. What a waste, nice wood.



Or, you could always glue a batch of 2X4 chunks together, then make one from that.


JOAT It's not hard, if you get your mind right.

Well, they do sell blanks, if you can't wait for the next large tree:-)

Yeah, but where would the fun be in that? It'd be better to glue up a batch of 4X4s, make a big lathe, and turn your own blanks. Or, better yet, say to Hell with a lathe, and whip out the old precision chainsaw.
