Well, got the second 4' long post all rounded over and set with the firdt one Will let them season awhile. Dug through the lumber stash, to find an almost knot free 4x4! Needed to cut it to length, and the main big knot was in the excess part. Then to the bandsaw, to resaw it down to two blanks, about 1-3/4" x 1-3/4" x 24" long... Hmm, will just have to do, I guess.. Since I still do not have a shave horse in the shop... I'll make do with a shave vise. Drawknife to rough to round.. And spokeshave to fine tune it. Then rotate and keep going until.. Still needs a bit of work. Flipped it end for end, finish the clamped end. Had a belt from a sander, used it like you would polish shoes. Then that palm sander to even things out a bit One done. maybe tomorrow to do the other one? Got a few measurements off the pattern rocker. Milled a crest rail to rough shape..... Will let it set for awhile. Needs to be cut to length, with through tenons on each end. May add a curve to it, as well. There will be a few mortises for the back's slats to be housed in. Might be awhile on this one.. I also cut out a blank for a seat support.. One of three needed. Each will be a hair short, the closer I get to the back. I' ll use this as a pattern for the other two, then cut to fit each as needed. Again, might be awhile... Decent Cardio Workout with the knives......at least enough for today.. Maybe try again tomorrow? stay tuned...
