Chair making class

>Sorry for the delay, I had to get a digital camera from work. Here are two pictures of the chair. The seat, arm bow and comb are air dried elm. The legs and spindles were made from green ash. We used a froe, ax, adze, and even thicknessed the seat by hand. The class size was two students and I don't think he ever has more than four. Great time and I highly recommend the guy.

>John,
That chair looks familiar somehow.
Ah, now I remember. You were the other guy in the David Fleming's class in March. I cannot say enough good things about the class. David is world class, and with the exchange rate with the U.S., the class is a relative bargain. Check out some photos from a course he taught at Rosewood recently.
His classes are in his shop now, about an hour outside Ottawa. Very peaceful. Except for a band saw and a sander, everything is powered by Wheaties.
Nice work buddy.
