Making a 6° tapered reamer and matched tenon cutter. Still a little fettling to do on the reamer, and I need to harden and sharpen the blade on the tenon cutter.

While waiting on my chairs , I made a large box, or small chest. Out of the left over elm from the chairs. The lid does double duty as a small table/bench.

It's been a while, three weeks to let the raw linseed oil to cure. But today we painted the chairs with a linseed oil paint. The recipe for the paint as well as the red ochre, are from #earthpigments.com . I am chuffed with how they came out

It's the beginning of the end, or should I say the start of the finish. Before and after an application of linseed oil.

The progress is slow, but the undercarriages are all glued up. The uppers will happen next week.
