Another Moxon vise.I've wanted a Moxon vise for some time and finally pulled the trigger. I know Red Oak is not the preferred material but it's what I had on hand. I didn't want to drive to Boise and back for hard maple. It's 250 mile round trip. I also did something else different I used Black Walnut Danish oil and I gave it a couple of Poly varnish. I'm sure everyone can tell that's Benchcrafted hardware. I got the design and plans from a guy on You Tube, Dustin Penner. It's probably not to everybody's liking, but I'm pretty sure it'll suit my needs. Only two more big projects on my list that I start using this to get proficient at hand cut dovetails.

The body of the chair is made from butternut, a photo of a cocker spaniel inspired the quilted maple for the ears. While selecting the wood I noticed an interesting knot in the butternut that I incorporated as an 'easter egg' in the arm (last photo). Face pieces and ears are finished with dewaxed shellac, body is 3 coats of satin wipe-on poly. Also shown are the first two chairs, teddy bear and monkey. I used the Rockler teddy bear plans for all 3 with the monkey and puppy dog being customizations my wife and I came up with.
