I was out in Nova Scotia for a week but have returned home and am ready to get back to woodworking. Rosemary really liked her Mother's Day gift (1st Scrollsaw Project) and has taken it to work with her. I didn't get a chance to finish it up with a couple of coats of polyurethane, but I'll get her to bring it home the next time I have another project to finsh and get it done.
This weekend I am going to try and get two coats of stain on my Morris Chair project. This is actually the second Morris Chair that I've built. The first was given away as a gift (sans cushions) while this one will be ours. I don't seem to have a picture of the current one, but here is a picture of the previous chair I built, before finishing. The new one is complete except for a little bit of final sanding. I'm planning on 2 coats of Minwax Provincial stain and 2-3 coats of Minwax Wipe-on Poly.
Once the staining is complete we'll get to work on the leather cushions. We are going to try and get out to a local leather shop this weekend to pick out the leather, then I'll use my new pneumatic stapler to put together the seat and stool cushion. The back cushion I will have to outsource to one of my sewing friends as we do not have a sewing machine.
Here's a picture of the last chair I completed, with some temporary cushions for the picture. The new one should come out the same colour, the leather colour will be chosen by Rosemary.
