2nd wine barrel chair

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


2nd wine barrel chairThis week I managed to complete my second wine barrel chair this one for my wife.This time I used the lid of the barrel for the seat, being able to flex the lid to a concave surface. I also chose to make the legs curve outwards. The seat sits on a swivel mechanism, with a 3 tilt.As with the first stool, this chair is made with white oak stave, a colored burgundy by the wine.The finish is Varathane Professional 1100, matte sheen, 2 coats.Hope you like it.

Krenov style cabinet

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Krenov style cabinetI saw this cabinet on the Krenov school website. It was titled “throughsie” and was designed by Kurt Gross. It always intrigued me how it was put together. I sat down on sketchup one day and tried to reverse engineer it. I attached a pic of my sketchup drawing showing how it is put together. It looks like a very simple construction, but is actually like a puzzle to put together.1. Half blind dovetails on the top and bottom corners.
2. the shelves sit in stopped dados on the carcase sides
3. the sides connect with tenons that pass through the shelf
4. its primarily made out of red oak from a couple of old drawer fronts
5. door is white oak bookmatched
6. drawer sides are figured maple
7. Door handles are maple and made on the router table
8. finished with danish oilI built it with no real purpose except to challenge my hand tool skills. The router plane was very helpful in this project. I plan on taking it to my office and use it to hold my tea cup and some tea bags in the drawers. It isn't big enough for much else.
