Emily’s Highchair v1.3

A little more done on the Highchair. It would have been more, but I was so cold I realized I was starting to shake while using the lathe. Not good.

I cut a board down to squared spindles. The four spindles that will have the reed seating strung over are boring 3/4″ dowels.

The lower spindles that circle the bottom are also being left plain. A simple ball and groove element to give it a little something.

The chair with the seat rails and leg rails in place. Finally starting to look like a chair.

These are for the arm rest spindle bottom rails. A set of five spindles will be placed between this part and the arm rest 6″ higher.

A little bit of chop on the rounded parts next to the drilled out sections. Not to bad… a little sanding will fix that up.

The arm spindle rail installed. I am starting to think I didn’t leave myself a lot of room for weaving the seat area.
