I spent the day continuing to mill up the components. The zebra wood trim and counter are done. Tomorrow is a lot of sanding and then maybe start assembly.

In the picture some of it looks like walnut.

That’s a bummer Chris. Was that Luan Mahogany ? It was such a good looking chair.

Because the shop boy, you know the one we all have that comes by to clean our shop, always forgets it. And I really hate emptying those things. Mine always seem to be full at the exact moment that I am not in the mood to empty them. Of course I am never in the mood

15 degrees is the cut you make on each piece.

I received all the mahogany ply and cut up what parts I needed and got the face frames glued to the shelves. I also milled up the counter trim with the zebra wood. With luck I will get everything to final dimensions tomorrow and assemble on Sun.

15 degrees. It is the number of sides times two ( 24 in this case) and divides into 360.

They are brass

Thanks for the compliment Al. As usual it came out of necessity. At the time I was turning a lot of paduak which has really nasty dust so I had to come up with a way to sand the rings with minimal dust. The other problem I was having was consistency in the thickness. I was doing a really tall paduak...
