Walnut Rocker Leg to Seat Joint

John Morris

By John Morris

The joints in these chair is known as the "money shot". They are really pleasing to the eye, but in the manufacturing process of the leg to seat joints, the process can go from great to disaster in milliseconds, and the project could be ruined. I am happy when the seat joint operations are completed!

In this image, the first coat of finish is not applied yet, the sheen you see is purely from sanding through the grits, up to a 1000 abralon pad.

    Some day I may attempt this, but for now I'll bow out gracefully and say maybe later. John beautiful job, you can not see any glue joint at all. Very nice!

    BEAUTIFUL work John!  No surprise here though.  That finish looks very "soft". Walnut is sure a beautiful wood.
