With most of the seat slats in place, Maureen places a slat on the front curve and marks a point where she should rip the slat to a new width. |
She adjusts the fence over to her mark in preparation to making the cut. Since this is a prototype, tailoring some pieces as you go is just part of the creative process, and it can be fun. |

With the cut pieces pinned to the front, she uses a block plane to smooth over the sharp edges and smoothes out the gentle curve of the chair seat. This is probably one step that will always be done after the chair is assembled. |
She attaches the arm supports. |
 |
 |
After trying the arm in place, we decided that it also should be scaled down. Maureen saws a bit off the width. |
Now with the shape to our liking, she tacks the arm in place. |
 |
 |
And, she tries out
the finished chair. Well, it isn't really finished. Now that we like the looks and feel,
we will totally disassemble, update templates and plans to match the final piece, sand and
reassemble.
