A friend brought by an old, dusty, maple chair that had seen better days. It
was missing a back spindle, the seat was split into three pieces and a
bottom rung stringer had lost its tenon end. I don't usually work on other
people's old chairs but I made an exception for just this one. Making
spindles is new for me but I have found the process interesting and
therapeutic(so far). This shaving horse is made from some old pressure
treated deck scrap lumber and a few other parts and some store bought. I
practiced a little on a piece of dowel and I think I can get the hang of it.
My new horse reminds me of an old girl friend, Phyllis, she was plain but
she could rock and roll.

Nice. I'm doing some spoons and such as a gift, and I was thinking
about better clamping options than I currently have. This looks like
the ticket.

Oh, and nice driveby on the LV shave. :-)
