lowell, thanks for the suggestion. I had not heard of that technique
before...

Issues 90 and 91 of Woodwork magazine feature articles on making a Craftsman
style rocking chair. The techniques are shown in those articles. Sometimes
hand tools are easier and quicker to use. I use both hand and power tools.

I never mentioned that we use scrapers as well. A well prepared scraper will
remove a lot of wood, leaving a smooth surface.

It's nice to have the option of which technique to use. :-)

I'll post a photo of a recent chair I made in abpw newsgroup.
