Shaker style settee
JL
I took Chris Becksvoort's Shaker settee from FWW and adapted it to a 4' length as opposed to the 6' length as was described in his article.
I used soft maple as opposed to hard maple. The seat was carve using a 4 1/2" angle grinder w/ a Lancelot chain saw attachment followed by Kutzall grinding wheel. I then used 36 grit sand paper to finish roughing it out.
I turned all of the spindles as opposed to doing it his way on a jointer. The legs and the stretchers were also turned.
I used Lexington Green milk paint for the "colorant". When the weather gets warmer I will put a couple of coats of finish over the milk paint.
