Things got really busy again but the serenity of chair making (to the exclusion of all else) has descended again.

I had hoped to get back to this sooner as the longer you wait, the more you forget. I thought that a slight amount of time would allow the timber to settle before re-attacking it.

Final touches were: trimming of the hand section of the armrests, trimming of the legs for height and balance, final sanding, stain with van dyke, shellac, and then wax.

Done!
