And here are some other pictures I should have shared along the way #woodworking

first pic here is Peter being annoyed by a bit being dull so walking over to sharpen it for 20s (not exaggerating) second is the drive in yesterday #woodworking

Day 4 #woodworking

Day 5. Most parts go back in the kiln so they will be dry before they go into their mortises, and swell as they come up to typical humidity, locking them in place. Note also the requisite blood sacrifice has been made. #woodworking

I have lost track of days. Maybe day 6? #woodworking

Tomorrow we fit the rockers. #woodworking

Wrapping up. #woodworking

Rocking chair. Made as part of a Peter Galbert workshop in Berwick Maine, so many of the parts I received and shaped, joined, glued, wedged, pinned, finished, etc. Seat is eastern white pine, rockers are hickory, spindles are red oak, and the rest is ash. Glued with glue I made at home. Finished with BLO and soft wax I made at home. #woodworking
