Thanks Pete. Excellent advice. That is the same alternating cuts to a transition point as I learned with my spoon carving. It is one of the very first things one learns in carving spoons, transitions in the grain, whether using a carving axe in the initial rough out, or with a Sloyd knife while refining the spoon.
Glen Rundell sat in my Temple chair this weekend. He seemed to like it, so maybe I didn't screw it up too bad. I'm really not sure if my seat drops appropriately from front to back though... I don't even remember measuring or verifying that. I'm definitely looking forward to the plans Pete!

Looking forward to the video! Can I ask the dimensions of the seat? Headed to the lumber yard this week.
17 1/4 long by 16 1/4” wide!
Wonderful. Thanks, Peter!
These little tips are invaluable!
Pete, Looking forward to the full video. When will the plans by Jeff be available?
Hopefully in a few weeks
Like always, careful, precise, in control of the cut!!!
Wonderful as always...but I hope no more skinned cats! 😺🌹😺
Thanks, I assure you, no cats were harmed in the making of this post!
You would never! I hope you'll have a couple of barn cats in your new space one day...
